Uncle Rick;
I'm still heartbroken still to this day that you left us. But God took you under his arms and now your safe. I will never forget the memories i had with you and the family. All the parties at the house and You always cooking on that grill, you just were a happy, sweet, kind, loving person. I love you so much. And the most part that is going to suck is that thanksgiving is coming up, and honestly i'm not looking forward to it,its not going to be the same without you, even when we were done with dinner you would go in the living room and fall asleep. But i'm going to go around that corner and your not going to be on the couch sleeping. But now i know that your up in heaven watching all of us, I love you so much, miss you alot, and wish i could say that one last time. R.I.P Uncle Rick.
Love; Your niece.

We love you and will keep all of you in our prayers. Love, Gus & Margaret

Stay strong for your kids will need you to be their rock. Nobody will every understand this but we will do our best to help you and your children cope with such a tragic loss. No words will comfort you, but we are here if you need us. Love Phyllis Pantazopoulos
