Dear Diane and family,
We are so saddened for your loss. We have been trying to understand just how hard this has been for all of you. Our prayer is that God, family & friends will bring you the comfort that you need in the days ahead to help you through one day, one hour at a time.
It is amazing how the years go by and we look back on the different phases of our lives. People come in to our lives sometimes only for a season. Diane, although we have drifted apart over the years, you and Rick were such a special part of our younger days! We have nothing but happy memories of all the great times we had together... Softball ("just friends"), Duluth & cabin getaways, tripoly & cards, horseshoes, Patricks lounge, the Graiziger annuals, birthdays, being in each others weddings, showers & bach parties, couples golf and bowling events, housewarmings, watching football games, New Years Eve! ( listening to "Celebrate good times" over and over and over)
Rick will be missed by many but he will be equally remembered for that smile of his and the joy he gave to others. (like borrowing his car out to his buddies in HS so they could go to Embers 1st hour!)
We love you... xoxox
good friends are like stars.
you don't always see them,
but you know they're always there.
thanx for the memories Rick.
God bless you Diane, Lisa and Collin

The image chosen here is classic "Stu"
I can see the little caddie boy I met back in '71 at Midland Hills. We became fast friends. Oh, how we loved those long summer days competing for loops, birdies on caddie day and dates with our girls, good friends from the same class, that would one day become our brides. These are my most treasured memories amongst so many between us. Your frienship was a blessing Rick and I miss you my friend.

Rick, you were a great man! I know how much your family loved you as well as many others. May you rest in peace as your memory lives on. I'll never forget you coming to the corner of Manitou's bar for a Mich or two! I always loved seeing your smiling face! You will be missed.

Great image of "Stu". Classic.
I can still see the boy caddie in him.
Meeting Rick and spending summers with him up at Midland Hills, golfing the CC on caddie days. These are my favorite memories amongst so many. What a stud!

I remember double dating with Rick & Diane in High School. They were meant for each other from day one. It's hard to say goodby to a freind of 40 years. Rick always had a smile on his face and was always there to help without being asked. Your short life as left a huge mark in so many lifes in proof by family and freinds. I'll miss you buddy.

I was blessed with the privilege of being able to call Dick my friend. He will live on in the memory of all his friends. I can't wait to rejoin the Stuhr/Tomaszewski foresome someday.
Love and miss you

I cannot even imagine this spring looking out the Pro Shop door and not seeing that little red golf bag and Rick snuggling his chip shots so close to the holes on the putting green. Although not a long hitter Rick was a big hit with all of us at Manitou Ridge. The Best of the Best has left us for open tee times, wide fairways, the greenest greens and unlimited golf, we will miss him dearly. My heartfelt condolences to Diane, Lisa, Colin and the rest of Ricks family.
