I only learned that Rick was sick recently and didn't know how to reach you guys by phone. I owe you and Rick a debt of gratitude for his generosity to me and my family through the years. Although I couldn't visit him recently, please know that your loss is shared by all of us who had the pleasure of knowing and working along side him. God bless you and your family.

To Marla and all the Amos Family..
Janelle+I were so sorry to hear of Ricky's passing..Even though we haven't been in touch in years,we will always have great memories of the 2 of you..( You sold us our first house,remember?)Rick would come into Carol Lighting back in the day and play Randy or I a game of Pool for a houseful of light fixtures..He always won !! Ricky also turned me on to Green Corn Tamales..I told him one day I had never had them and the next Saturday morning he showed up at my door with a Crockpot full.! I've loved them ever since,and think of Ricky every time I have them.. He was a great guy.. Our deepest sympathies to you and yours..

Uncle Rick was the best uncle in the world. He always knew how to make me smile and how to push my buttons.He was such a wonderful person and I know that he impacted more people in his 60 years than he ever will know. Thank you Uncle Rick for all that you accomplished in your 60 years especially the lives that you have touched. You truly will be missed...especially your dirty jokes! I will cherish the memories forever. Marla, Nikki, Jerry, Charlie and Roseleen (and grandkids), you are in my thoughts and prayers. All my love, Jennifer

My deepest sympathy to the family I once was part of for more than 3 years and still to this day remember knowing that Rick treated everyone he met like family. I enjoyed being with the entire family whether is was on vacations or even just sitting with Rick and Marla watching wheel of fortune. He was so generous and I will never forget the families kindness. Most of all I will miss just laughing at his everyday jokes. I bet he was the best grandpa any child could ever ask for. Lots of fun always. I believe Rick's legacy is bringing joy and kindness not only to his family but everyone he met and nothing is more important then radiating happiness. Thank you Rick for all you did for me, it will never ever be forgotten and I only wish I was able to tell you the impact it had on who I am today.

I was sorry to hear of the loss of Rick, and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I first met Rick as a patient at the VA hospital where I worked with him and the oncologist, but I was able to know Rick as more than a patient. I enjoyed spending the time talking hunting and house building in Colorado with him, and those conversations were more frequent than those involving his health. A truly kind and giving individual that we will all miss.

***************************************
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints upon the snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain and
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die.

Marla,
I remember Ricky from High School. So full of love of life and I know that's how he lived his life, to the fullest. It was apparent how much he loved his family. And It was a pleasure to meet you and see Ricky at the 40th year reunion. He will be missed and I will remember him fondly.
