Rick was the type of person you could never forget. His laugh and personality were like no other. I had the honor and privilege of having Rick in my life since the day I was born. Our family won't be the same without him here, but the memories, laughter, love, and many games of cards played will always hold a special place in our hearts. Even though his passing is painful and heartbreaking, the love we have for him, and the love he had for us outweighs the pain. May you be standing at the tree, on the track in the sky doing what you loved.

Always a kind soul to everyone he met. Always a laugh to be around, to hear his stories about Keith and His adventures. I missed getting to go with them fishing in Southern Illinois. We had plans of spending more time together which I regret with all my Heart. Rest in Peace Cousin Rick we shall meet again old Scout. Love Butch

Rick was a good and caring friend. He was best friends with my sister Tina, and like a father to her children, Casey, Danielle, Jessica and Sarah along with their children. He was always there on holidays and usually helping with the cooking. I am thankful that Tina and her children had such a friend as Rick. We will miss him.
