Uncle rick, never will I forget you. Every since I was a little girl, you've always showed me love and kindness. I thank you for that. I'm gonna miss you, and I know you're in heaven smiling down at us. Norma, my heart breaks for you and I'll pray that God gives you strength. Lil' Ricky, my heart hurts for you. I know how it feels to loose a parent. I'll also say a prayer for you, and please... Stay strong for your grandma. My deepest condolences to all.

I myself did not get the honor to actually get to know you. I am writing this on behalf of my husband Tori Stormoen who is incapable to speak for himself at the time...but I know what he would say based on the way he spoke of you and the memories he has shared with me. Tori loved you very much and had the up most respect for you. He has told me several times that he looked up to you for the loyalty you had to people. Which is very difficult to find in people these days. He always talked about his Uncle Rick. He wished he could of been there to pay his respects and say a proper goodbye. Fly high Uncle Rick and be free. Rest in Peace

Rick, I have known you for many years. Through a lot of your turmoil and also some of mine. You helped anyone you could and asked nothing in return. All the help you hooked Gary up with and helped get home sooner than expected.. I will always remember your Big smile and beautiful eyes.Your Smile and eyes lit up the whole room, no matter where you were.Take Gary and ya'll do some fishing. ( and I don't mean for tuna ).. LOL. Gary and I were glad to know you. But, Not only being a brother in law at one time you were also a friend and Uncle to many. A lot of my nieces and nephews still and will continue to see you as their UNCLE RICK. My son Jimmy also called and calls you UNCLE RICK... Tell James Backus JR and Gary D Thorpe that I think of them both often. Tell Jim my kids miss their daddy..... Go Rest High on That Mountain. LOVE YA RICK. Don,t Go To Jamaica... LOL>JK..

Oh gosh Richard I don't even know where to begin. Still not actually sunk in. It saddens me and my heart that I will no longer hear your voice or your laughter. But I have so many fond memories of you and I, you and I and Little Ricky. You will always be in my heart Richard. You were my husband. And I loved you so very much!!! Even after we divorced we still remained friends. We had a bond that no one understood completely but you and I.im just so Thankful to God that even though it was your time to go home to Our Heavenly Father, He made it possible for us to share the last few weeks together and spend time talking,reading the Bible,reminiscing and praying among so much more. Just wanted to let you know I'll be thinking of you always. Last few mornings I talked with you as I drank my morning coffee. Although it was too very soon for your departure you are loved still. Gone but never forgotten. It's sad for all of us, but I know you are smiling down on us and want us to remember you for the good hearted man that you were. A part that some people didn't get to see or know. I also know it makes you smile to know your Mom and I have become better acquainted thru this as well. She's actually a great person and loved you so very much. But I'm sure you know that. But anyway just enjoy Heaven until we meet again. Flying with all the other Angels and watching over all of us. Maybe GOD will send you on a secret mission for one of us. Say hello to my Sister Bonnie and Pops and tell them how much I love and miss them too. As for now I'll forever love you Richard A. White Stripes. You R I H and know you are truly someone Special.. Love you ALWAYS YOUR FIRST TRUE LOVE AND EX WIFE. ANGEL WHITE DERICKSON
