Barbara and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Rick and I went to GWHS together, but I did not get to truly know him until 10 years ago. I have taken care of his business insurance since then. We became close friends and could talk and laugh about anything. He did tile work for me and he was the best in town. He will sadly missed by all the contractors he worked with. I will miss him dearly and my prayers are with you

Barb, I am so very sorry at your loss. I have been out of town, and will be unable to come to the funeral. Please be assured of my love and prayers for you during this time. I know how you feel. My first husband died many years ago, and I remember what it was like. I am hoping that later on we can meet to talk about Rick. I love you, Barb, and am praying for you. May you feel the presence of our Lord especially today. With much love, Pam Radford Anderson
I am so sorry for your loss, Barb. You both fought hard. For reasons unknown to us, God chose to heal Rick in His way not ours. He IS healed and at the throne of God. I am sorry I am unable to attend the services today. You are in my prayers. I love you my friend.
Vickie and the rest of Ricks family, my heart is broken for you all. I have nothing but fond memories of your whole family. My love and prayers go out to you all.Heaven has gained a precious soul.
