Rick, it has been so long since you left us. My daughter Laura asked about you today. I have such nice memories of you, wrestling with Steve, remodeling our apartment when we let you stay when we went out of town or baking chocolate chips in mass quantities plus the huge cookie you would make just for me, and those amazing back rubs you gave! Laura was so small, but her little brother is named after you. Trying to find a picture of you. I can see it in my mind. Just know I still love and miss you so much, my dear friend. XOX

I remember Rick. He was a good friend when I was in 6th - 8th grades I believe. I was saddened to hear he passed away. I hadn't heard until some time ago. He is not forgotten!

My son, it has been along time and nothing seems right. You are missed by so many. Can't believe no one else has been on your site. Just want to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, we all love you. I know your brother surely does, he tries to be strong but we know he hurts. Love you son, DAD, SCOTT

HELLO MY SON, THIS IS JUST FOR YOU. YOU LEFT TOO SOON AND ARE VERY MUCH MISSED. I WILL NOT FORGET THAT LAST NIGHT WE HAD, ALL THE TALKING AND JOKING. THE MANY PLANS YOU HAD. WHEN WE WENT TO BED, IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN IT WAS THE LAST NIGHT, YOU HUGGED ME AND GAVE ME A CHEEK KISS, SAID I LOVE YOU DAD. WHAT I AWOKE TO WAS HORRIBLE. HOW COULD YOU LEAVE US THAT WAY? SO MANY LOVED YOU AND STILL DO
