I’m leaving only words of peace and comfort for you. You knew how I felt about you, I told you often. We were each others best friend. My tears are for us left here to grief, but memories, holidays, and knowing you are with God will help until we meet at heavens gate. Remember, you promised,

Oh daddy, my heart is absolutely broken. I love you so much. Always.

-Your baby girl.

What a sweet man and a gentle soul. I knew Rick through the AFAR organization in Burlington NJ and he and I had many conversations about life and recovery through spiritual development. He will always be in our hearts.

Our love and condolences to all of Rick’s family. He died too young but he had the sincere and cherished love of Meghan, Denise and Lyric and so many people who knew him. He is at pease. All our love.

A piece of my HEART has gone to heaven with you. Only TIME will mend my broken heart. Growing old with you is now my LOSS. When you wrote ... “ I smile every time I think about you, i tingle when I hold your hand, my heart skips a beat when I hear your voice. When I see you I have no choice but to want you. When I am with you nothing else is in focus. You are my sunshine on a rainy day, my comfort on a stormy night. Together life will be better than our wildest dreams.” I couldn’t help but LOVE you. I hope you know how much I CARED. You will ALWAYS and FOREVER be in my HEART! I will truly MISS YOU!!

My condolences to your loving family left behind, the hardest thing in life is to lose a loved one. Please know you are not alone we are here together in the healing of such sorrow.

Meghan and Chris. We know how much your loss means and the torment when a loved one is lost. Your father was a good man who struggled with many of life’s challenges. He will rest in peace in the mountains he loved. We love you.

Ricky...my heart is broken. I will always know how to swim because of you. Love you.
David, Ted, Charlie, Meghan,Christopher...Always keep your hearts open and your memories will stay alive. Our love goes out to you all. No matter how sad we feel, keeping family close to our hearts will help ease the sadness and strengthen us.
Prayers, love and hugs

I am so sorry to hear about Rick's passing. Greg and I were Rick's next door neighbor when he lived in Crabtree. We would always stop while walking our dogs to chat. Mostly about our dogs but also the family cabin, gardening, fishing, cooking, family, everything really. Really nice and thoughtful guy. I am so sorry for your loss. and I am also sorry this is so late but we just heard the sad news. I hope you will get this message.
