I’m so sorry to hear of Rick’s passing. Rick was always a great uncle and very kind person and I always appreciated him giving me advice about life, work, home, family and about helping my mom too. Even though it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other I’ll always remember him. Lots of amazing memories. Rest in peace Rick.
