Dear Peggy, I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am to here of Ric's passing. He was one of those men that was rough on the outside but would bend over backwards to help you if he could. You and he helped me and Dad so much and were such great neighbors and friends.This world has lost a great person. My deepest sympathies and love to you and the family. Love, Dawnmarie

Peggy, you know I love you. Rick was and always will be a great man, a great friend and forever in our memories. He was one of the best! He had many qualities (good and bad) which made him one of the most lovable people I have known. Just imagine if he knew all this mushy stuff that was being said about him! AGH!!!! (Just kidding) You know Tom and I are always there for you! Love Tom and Shirley
