Well dad, i never really liked to post thinks about you because its always felt like it was never enough..I dunno but, these years have been strange without you. It has been four years almost five and i have changed a lot since you last seen me.. I dont wear that ridiculous pink fedora anymore, gosh why did you let me wear that. I just hope youre proud of me, i have tried reconnecting with family recently and Crista seems to be doing good and im glad, she was always pretty great i still have the statues she gave me i also still have that cat blanket you gave me. I do miss you alot its honestly never been the same without you. I miss going up every other weekend from makeing puppets with glasses to trying to make ice cream (why did we think that would work) to eatting five war heads and whoever made a face first would lose (thanks to that i scare my friends by eatting like five war heads) I also still have the sketch books you have given me for Christmas. I hope that you are proud of not only me but jared, he is such a character now and just a fantastic person.
I never thought i expressed it well enough when you where around but i hope you know that i love you, i love you so much. I will forever cherish the time we had together. Remember to stop and smell the roses dad.

...and another year gone by, my love.......

I met your dad and his whole family when he was just a kid, back from California. We enjoyed him in his younger years. I moved to Iowa in 1989 and came back for Terri's wedding. I think of your dad often. It is hard to loose a dad when you are young and each age is different for every different kid. I can't imagine what you went through. My dad died when I was 5. I remember not quite understanding what was going on and also having to move to another town. I moved from Durango to Denver then. We had to live with my grandmother. We lived right next door to Uncle Sid. I had lived with Sid and Rosalie when I was smaller, but then had been adopted into another family. Sometimes I wondered where I belonged. At the same time I lost my dad, I also lost my mother who was full of grief, that left her unable to show any love. I'm just telling you this, because loosing a parent is so very difficult. How are your other siblings doing. Especially, Jared, how are you doing. I think of your whole family often. You can find me on Facebook and message me there too, if it feels more private. Your Dad was a great person.

It has been 4 years so much has changed i am in my last year of school there has been so many things I have missed out on doing with you so many stories and jokes I miss you dad but I know you are in a better place love you dad.

It has been four years and I can remember your passing like it was yesterday. April Fools Day will never be a day of laughter and joking. It hurts too bad.... no laughter on this day. This year has been one of mixed emotions with the anniversary of your passing being on Easter. I'm hoping that this is a blessing showing us you are Home... pain free, happy and waiting for us to join you. I love you, Son, (from another mother). You are always in my mind and heart. K-Mom

Although we drifted apart over the years from teens to adulthood you will forever be my brother, and stay close to my heart
You are missed and I think of you often

I will be forever grateful for the life you shared with Crista. I sincerely hope you have found your peace, you are looking down with a smile, and you are proud of what you see. I didn't know you nearly well enough.... I look forward to seeing you again in our next life. Blessed be, Ricky. We haven't forgotten.

Happy Birthday, My Love
I miss you more than words can say~
My life will never be the same........

You were to young to leave us. Today would only be 44. We all miss and love you. Angel watching over your family, your not done yet. Wishing you were here to party with us on your birthday.

Can't believe it's been a year since you left us. Miss that great smile and big hugs. You are missed by so many. Every time I see a rose I stop to smell it and think of you. Miss you always.

I miss you every day, my love. I will NEVER forget you, or our love. It's been 1 year.........it seems like just yesterday and also an eternity ago that you left us. You have my heart forever.

Thinking of you. I miss you, and your laugh.
Your wife, your kids, your family, Ducky- it's been a hard year for them.
But I think they take comfort in knowing you're watching over.
Forever in my heart Dicky, it's where you'll be. <3
Love you

Rick i thank you for being a great stepfather to my son Lucas and being a caring husband to Crista ,you may be gone from this earth but you will never be forgotten by so many lives you have touched here ,i know some of our talks were not that best at first ,but you being a father yourself i sure you understood ,father to father ,and we grew into a friendship that was one that i will miss ,check-in from time to time with everyone i know the man above let you and espically Crista right now she could use it espically right now i am sure the man above will make a very special exception for that she needs it right now ,godspeed my friend ,

Even though we grew miles apart over the years, all of the memories are within inches. You brought so much to my life, your brothers and sister will always be with me. Childhood lives forever, even when your all grown up. I love you Richard. You have always and will continue to be apart of my life.

You married my sister. I only met you once, but was immediately struck by your warmth and infectious personality. They love you have is obvious, and timeless, and will forever live on in the lives you have touched. You will not be forgotten. Rest in peace, friend.

The smile and hugs will never be forgotten. Your love for Crista was glowing whenever you were togeather.You will be missed by so many. So hard to believe you are no longer with us. Look over you family as their angel up above.

Ricky, I miss you so much. We just found you again after years apart. Now I cannot believe you are gone again. You were like a son to me. I love you so much. Til we meet again. K-Mom

Ricky,

Today is National Siblings day! I miss you so much, love you!

I remember Ricky mostly as a child who we saw on holidays and picnics. The last time I saw him was at Terri's wedding. Such a nice young man. I have thought of him often since his death and also felt so much hurt for the family he left behind, Donna, Terry, John, Don, and Charley and Chuck.  There is family also that I don't know; his loving children. I loved that picture of newborn Jared and him. Also loved pictures of him down on the floor playing with his kids. I can't imagine how his lovely wife Christa feels. I have prayed for you all often and will keep you all in my heart. With love, Aunt Jeanne

I love and miss you my brother - i'll never be the same

Still can't believe you left us, dear nephew. Our family is forever changed and you will be forever missed. Love you always.

Aunt Terri and Uncle Rick
