My sympathies to the entire family. Had not seen Rick in a year or so, but he was always a great guy to see and talk with. We bowled in the Holy Name League against each other and also on the same team. All of us who knew him from bowling will miss him dearly.

Dear Lisa, Coleen, Michele, and Ricky's children, our deepest sympathy's for your loss of brother and father. Growing up with Ricky as best friend and neighbor, (with the Joiner's housed between us), having him as a best man in our wedding, I have so so many memories of Ricky. He is a piece of my life from childhood, to marriage, and will be sadly missed. From listening to LP's of Kansas. Bowie, and Deep Purple to the many many games of Risk at Cummings Beach during the summer nights on the pavillion, to our first concert together in 1977 seeing Pink Floyd at MSG. You will be missed Ricky. God Bless your family. Scott, Heather Christiano and family.

Omg, I really can't believe I am reading this about one of the best people I have ever met! At my time with Richard as a friend/ co- worker, he was amazing at what he did and still kept a smile, I genuinely am at a lost for words... My deepest condolence to his family especially his kids (whom he talked aout avidly). Wow bad things happen to such great people!!! - Samuel M. Singletary

I want to send my condolences to Rick's family... I worked beside Rick at CV. He was a great man, always full of laughs...
I found this poem and wanted to share it with you all....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The angels looked down from heaven one night
They searched for miles afar,
And deep within the distance
They could see a shining star.
They knew that very instant
That the star was theirs to gain,
So they took you up to heaven
Forever to remain.
Look down on us from heaven
Keep us free from hurt and pain,
You'll always be within my heart
Until we meet again.

Lisa and Rick's Family...
As you walk along this new path of grief and sorrow--feeling like there is no tomorrow, I ask blessings for the sweet belief--that there is eventually relief. As the sorrow starts to grow smaller, good memories of a loved one grow taller. I hold this family in loving HUGS (Holding U Gently Softly) while you grieve.....

Dear Colleen, Lisa and Michelle,
Words can not express how sorry I was to hear of the passing of your brother Ricky. I'll always remember the good times we had on Dale Street.
Dear Ricky's Children,
I know your Dad will be greatly missed but never forgotten. May the great memories you have, guide you through this difficult time. It is a time to remember and reflect on the joys of the life that he had lived and the life that he has given you. This makes him immortal.
May God bless you and your family at this time with all that you need.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
With sincere respect and sympathy,

Two things are at the forefront when I think of Ricky....his Children, and his laughter. Always, a Father first. Such a great loss for his family, as I know his laughter and sense of humor will be greatly missed.
May Ricky rest in peace, and may his family find the strength to get to a place where they understand, that he will always, always, be with them.
Much sorrow, from an old Zip pal.
