Rick I never met you, much to my regret, but feel I knew you through Linda.
Linda,
I was so sorry to hear of Rick's passing. I send my love and sympathy to you and the kids.
Always,
Your cousin, Marie
When I was a boy, I remember walking and talking with Ricky in the woods. Ricky would talk about life. I was 9 years younger than him and I would be captivated by his stories. I felt like I was talking to a sage or guru full of wisdom and adventures. As an adult, when I was new to hunting, he invited me on a hunt. I was utterly amazed be his woodsman ship.
Rest In Peace Ricky
My friend and co-worker, always
A laughter when we talked, and always the talk about fishing, hunting, and nature. It was a great pleasure having cross paths with you, RIP.
I remember visiting my cousins at their house on Lydius Street when I was a boy in the ‘70s. Ricky was a few years older than me, and he enjoyed sharing his musical tastes. He turned me onto George Thorogood, Ram Jam, Yes, and many others. Ricky was generous and fun.
I didn’t see Ricky often as an adult, but every time we met he had the generous, good-natured smile that was his trademark. He will be missed.
Rick was my college roommate at Morrisville ag and tech college. He was also the best man at my first marriage so many years ago! There are so many great memories of so many adventures we had! I am so sorry to hear of his passing and will always remember him as one of the best friends I have ever had!
I have such fond memories of playing with my cousins at their house when I was a kid. Adventures of hiking through the woods, sliding down
dirt cliffs, getting “lost” and being found again, pool parties and food parties. Ricky’s easy going, cheerful spirit and his wonderful smile which made one feel welcomed is my fondest memory.
Melanie, the boys and I are saddened at Rick's passing. We will always remember the farm and the help he had given us over the years. RIP Rick, you will be missed.
A father no daughter could forget, a heart so big it was impossible not to shine onto those he loved. His generosity was contagious, and he will forever be missed by those whose heart he touched. I will always love you dad, and trust you are now watching over me, protecting your wife, children and grandchildren.
