Pat, you have been in my prayers. May God fill you and your brother's family with His peaceful love. I recognized the Democrat picture of your "little" brother---so much resemblance to my childhood memory of your daddy.

Sharon,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during your loss. I never got the chance to meet Rick in person but did get the pleasure to speak with him several times a day. If I was having a bad day it seemed that Rick knew it because the phone would ring and he would always have a story to tell that would make my day alot better.

My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you and your family during this time. Rick will be missed greatly. I always looked forward to his "joke of day" when he would call in an order @ Hancor. He put a smile on everyone's face that he came in contact with.

I think I knew Ricky since around 1961, as we lived only a couple of blocks apart. He was a gentle warm guy as a kid and he stayed that way. I am so sorry to hear of his passing way too soon and extend my sympathies to his family and friends.

My prayers go out to Rick's family. I'm saddened to hear the news of his passing. I met Paw-Paw about 10 yrs ago when he started with Hancor. He was "always" gentle, caring and in good humor. (( The makings of a great angel. ))

He was a sweet person, a great father and would have been a wonderful grandfather like Bonca. What a nice smile in the pic. He looked so happy!

I came to know Rick through his position at Congo. He was always sociable and entertaining. He spoke often of his wife, whom he obviously adored, and family. He will be missed. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you.
