This is incredibly sad news and I'm so sorry for your family to have experienced the loss of Rick and Sherri in the same year. I'll always remember teasing "Rickster" as I called him in high school. He was always one for laughs. I had to smile when I read the part where he loved a clean car... and lecturing me & Sherri before taking it out. LOL. While not the circumstances I would have wanted, I am thankful I was able to spend time with him last July. I am sending all my love to your entire family. He will be greatly missed.

It was such an honor caring for Rick, I always looked forward to coming in every morning to his vibrant energy and good attitude no matter the circumstances. We had many laughs together, motivational talks and I learned so much about Rick and his life. Thinking of and praying for Rick, Kathy and the rest of the family.
