One of the greatest gifts someone can leave behind is fond memories, and "Brecky's" will always be with me. He had the ability to make people laugh and smile, a true blessing.
If only we knew God's mind and why life goes the way it does. We can only trust him and know Brecky is in a far better place where all pain and sorrow are gone.

We are very sorry to hear of Rick's passing. We had shared many laughs together in the good times. Every time I pass a Miller display I think of Rick. May God take mercy on him, because he was a good man.
