Rick and I played together through grade school. 6th district. I walked past his house everyday.later he had an accident on Dixie highway and I bought his Cushman eagle. I introduced him to a girl and she had his baby. We spent our childhood climbing trees and in the winter sliding on the snow down cinder hill. He was a good guy. All my memories of Rick are fond.

Jason, Laura and Family,
So sorry for your loss. Jason – I am sure your dad was a good man acknowledging the kind of man you are. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I know you will miss him very much. God Bless you!
Rick and I were classmates at Holmes many years ago, and we reconnected in the recent past via Facebook. All the words in the dictionary can’t take away your pain, but I’m hoping that a few heartfelt words from people who cared for Rick and who are praying for his family will at least ease a bit of your heartache. He was a fine and gentle man with a big smile and that’s quite a legacy to leave behind. Please accept my deep sympathy for your loss. May God bless all of you.
