Rick,
I think of you often and the little practical jokes you used to play on us!
It is hard to believe it has been 16 years my dear friend!
I am sure you are greatly missed by all who had the honor of knowing you.
Much love to you and your family.

To RICK the JOKER!
Rick you will be so missed by so many of us. Your practical jokes never ended. (Especially on me) My favorite was all the pointers your sister was going to give me in sales. I was so excited till I realized you had all brothers! You made us all laugh! We always had bets going for something or another.

Rick my friend you will always be in my thoughts. You're stress free now and in a better place watching all of us (and laughing) I love you Rick
