Event details

No memorial events are planned

Due to circumstances beyond our control, Rick will not be given a memorial service or public funeral. However, he would have loved if others who knew him, shared their memories of fun times with him, remembering although his life was impacted by issues, he knew how to love, give and be a friend! It is not the bad times that define a person's life, IT IS THE GOOD TIMES! In his last months many messages were relayed to him from friends in the past and he he laughed, he cried and appreciated everyone's care for him! We thank you also!
