There could never be a big-enough space for me to list all of the wonderful memories I have of my beloved big brother, Ricky. His last joke to me (and the last time we saw each other) was him, saying that "now we're orphans" after our mother, Faye, passed away, following our already-passed father, Max, made me burst into laughter at the idea of being 60-plus year-old "orphans". This final happy memory of Rick will forever make me laugh 'til I move on, too, to rejoin them all and laugh again all together. May he rest in peace....

Our thoughts are with your family during this time of mourning. Rick was one of the kindest, most generous people we have had the honor of knowing.
Rick was funny, honest and sincere.
We hope that you find some comfort in the knowledge that he is no longer in any pain and that his spirit left a heartened impression on those of us who were fortunate to have known him.
Take care of one another.
Sincerely,
Aaron, Katie, Jack and Zoe Dingfield

Brad, Yvonne, and Family:
I wish to express my sadness regarding the departure of your father, your husband, and your best friend. I grew up with Rick's eldest son, Brad. Rick was always very fair-handed, respectful, and devoted to his entire family. I understood this at the ripe age of 13.
Brad and his friends (not me of course) did challenge Rick a bit. Rick always took the high road. He is truly "Dancing With Angles" as you indicated in his well-written obituary. I am thinking about you and your family during this most difficult time.

Dear Yvonne & Family,
I am so sad, my heart is heavy and my eyes teary learning the news of Rick's passing. If ever there was a family that should have had many more years with its father/husband, it is your family. Rick lived his life by example as a man, believer, husband, father, friend, co-worker, and I know that he was proud of all of you and the great, caring human beings you are. Your happy family memories are many - may they help sustain you(along with the knowledge that Rick will now be your Guardian Angel) as you each find your way through the grieving process. I know you are taking care of one another - my heart goes out to you and my prayers are for you. God bless you all. With loving sympathy, Barbara

I didn't know Rick, but I know his daughter Jenny. Jenny is a wonderful person and that to me means that Rick was a wonderful dad. You brought up a beautiful, loving, caring daughter.

My dear Cousin: Though our adult lives diverged, we sure did have some laughs as kids! Your family life must have been a great source of pride to your mother, my dear "Auntie" Faye. Kiss and hug all our dearly departed, especially my mom and dad. I think about them all the time. your cousin, arnold

Rick, my beloved brother, all the beautiful (and often funny) memories of our childhood and our precious last meeting here in Italy last year will accompany me for the rest of my life. He remained faithful to his futuristic character even likening his last moments to an unopened computer!

Dear Yvonne & family - Gary & I are in Florence, Italy until December 17th. We were so sorry to receive the news of Rick's passing and regret as well that we are unable to attend his funeral. You have all been in our prayers these past many months of his illness, and you will continue to be as you mourn his loss. He was indeed a man we admired and enjoyed for his humor, kindness and generosity . . . With our deepest sympathy and prayers,

Dear Yvonne and family,
We know your hearts are heavy now and these words are small comfort. But please know that you are in our prayers as is Rick who will be greatly missed. When thinking back to when we first met (I believe Rachael was potty training at the time!) it has been many years. It has been a true honor to have known Rick and his passing has reinforced what a gift each day on this earth is. May God watch over you at this very difficult time and may your memories sustain you.
With much love and much sorrow,
Paula and Dave Mark

Yvonne and family,
Rick's obituary mentioned he "was dancing with angels". William Butler Yeats, the poet, has a memorable line where he says the "dancer" cannot be separated from the "dance". I knew Rick, mainly through the prayer group which met at his house. He was a great host, combining seriousness and humor in the right proportions. Rick, the individual, the "dancer" is no longer with us, but his influence in bringing good into the lives of so many individuals , his "dance," continues on.
It was a privilege to have known Rick.
Sincerely,
Bert and Michelle Ring
