I just want to say that meeting Rick for the first time put such a smile on my
face that no one can take away. From his offensive jokes ;) to his serious
talks about life. I will never forget him and I know he was loved by many.
My prayers are with his family during this time. May his deep chuckles live
on forever.

Brande, I am so sorry for your loss. Rick seemed like a great guy for the short
time I knew him it was an honor. I know that he was loved by you & Joe so
he had to be a good man. Sorry we didn''t get moved to Kentucky before he
left us, it would have been an honor to meet him.

I have been trying to come up with the appropriate words to express my
condolences and feelings on the loss of my best friend and the love of my
life. While there are no words to adequately express what I feel, I will add
the lyrics of some of his favorite songs. He loved music, all music...from
showtunes, to country, to rock to easy listening, sometimes singing with the
breath of a passion that surprised even him and sometimes at the top of his
lungs and everything in between. He would sing along, sometimes with a
precious smile and other times with the music loud and rambunctious. There
would be times we would dancing in the living room, or taking my hands
from amidst the bread dough I was kneading, and with flour flying, spin
around the kitchen as we whirled and dipped. Other times, I would start
singing and he would get this look in his eye that said, "Ok, not now" and
other times he would roll his eyes and join in with an air guitar.” I loved
hearing him sing. He had a wonderful voice and he knew just how to make
me melt with the songs of his soul. He is humming in heaven today along
with the host of great singers who were just waiting for him to complete the

choir. When I listen carefully for the rest of my life, I will hear him in the
breezes of a spring morning, the ripple of water as it dances across the rocks
on a warm summer’s day and the soft breath a newly fallen snow. Each song
will sooth my soul and let me know he is near.
Two of our favorites.....
Till the Rivers All Run Dry…Don Williams
Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you.
I know sometimes you may wonder
From little things I say and do
But there's no need for you to wonder
If I need you, 'cause I'll need you.
Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you.
Too many times I don't tell you
Too many things get in the way
And even though sometimes I hurt you
Still you show me, in every way.
Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you...
You’re My Best Friend
You placed gold on my finger
You brought love like I've never known
You gave life to our children
And to me a reason to go on
You're my bread when I'm hungry
You're my shelter from troubled winds
You're my anchor in life's ocean
But most of all, you're my best friend
When I need hope and inspiration
You're always strong when I'm tired and weak

I could search this whole world over
You'd still be everything that I need
You're my bread when I'm hungry
You're my shelter from troubled winds
You're my anchor in life's ocean
But most of all, you're my best friend
You're my bread when I'm hungry
You're my shelter from troubled winds
You're my anchor in life's ocean
But most of all, you're my best friend
Always my love, Me....
