We are so sorry for your loss. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Rick came to at least one Buckeye home game each year for as far back as I can remember with his cousin, Brett. He immediately fell in with our merry band of friends and we looked forward to those Rick games darned near as much as the Michigan Game. We are blessed to have known Rick and will very much miss our football friend.
Janet, Dick and Family: We send you our deepest sympathy, Love and lots of prayers during this most difficult time. We have many memories over a lot of years, Rick will be sadly missed by many.
So sorry for your loss. We will miss him.
Our deepest sympathy to Rick’s family, Mother and Father…I knew Rick for 40 years. On a cold January day 21 years ago I asked him to look at Mom’s fuel oil boiler. I was very impressed with his knowledge and efficient work. He had it running in no time and needless to say, he found a new customer!
He will be missed by many people…
We are so sorry to hear of Ricks passing. We always enjoyed talking to him when he came to service our furnace or
