A person creates a tapestry during their life. All the twists, turns, and designs bearing significance to their thoughts, experiences and beliefs. Rick created a beautiful tapestry, touching many people, and setting an example to all.

Rick was a loving husband to Trish, for 34 years, each devote to the other. The marriage was blessed with four children, Vanessa, Melissa, Alyssa and Anthony, who have been a source of joy and pride for them. The circle was completed with the addition of six grandchildren, Kaylynn, Sophia, Jerod, Liam, Nicholas and Braylen; each stealing a part of his heart!   His tapestry will continue to develop through all of them.

In loving memory of my love, my hero, my soulmate! I pray you are happy and at peace!

 

Please share a memory of Rick with the family, and sign the guest registry! Thank you.

Dad, cannot believe it's been eight years since you left. We still talk about you almost daily. The kids, especially Sophia, love sharing memories of what you guys use to do together. She still thinks she was your favorite. This year we took you to Siesta Key with us. Alyssa and I left some of you behind to enjoy the beautiful beach. Sophia and I made your famous beef jerky. It tastes almost exactly the same. We miss you so much! And hope you are watching over us. We love you!

It's hard to believe it has been six years since I heard your voice or felt you arms around me! It still makes me mad, yet I forgive you as you are missing out on so much. We have added 2 grandchildren, did you know that? Jaclyn was adopted by Steve and Vanessa a couple years ago. Melissa and Brandon had a little boy, Giovanni, named for some of your ancestors. I think you had something to do with picking out his soul, because it shows. The rest of the kids are growing up fast, and are very smart, and cute. I miss you a lot! I will always love you!

Dad...it has been 5 years since you left us. Not a day goes by that I don't miss you. There have been so many life moments that I wish we could have celebrated. I miss you and love you so much. Happy Angelversary Dad!

Mr. and Mrs.

August 1, 2022
by Trish Amato
Rick and Trish were married January 26th, 1980, after only dating 6 months! He proposed over the phone, saying "I told my parents I was going to marry you, what do you think?" Trish wanted him to ask in person, which he did and the rest is history! They had celebrated 34 years of marriage, and had discussed renewing their vows for their 35th, which was not to be.

Although Rick may no longer be here, I still feel liked we are married! I still love him very much!
