We are so sorry to hear about Rick. I know Rick told us several times that he was going to live like today was his last. We just didn’t believe it would come so soon. He will live forever as long as we keep him in our hearts. You will see him again some day. He loved his kids dearly and was a good father to them. Again our deepest sympathy to your family.
