Rick I will never forget you in my life or the memories we had together .We had a lot of fun racing in your !969 Nova all over south county. I remember having 6 people in the car and you stomping on the gas and burning rubber in all four gears .I remember shooting your 50 cal Desert Eagle at the ranges and other shooters would walk down to you with a flame shooting out of the barrel when you shot . They had to ask what the heck are you shooting and you would smile and say a 50 caliber Desert Eagle .Would you like to shoot it ? How true the words are that you never met a stranger . You will be truly missed by all that knew you . You were a great brother and friend I had some great times in my life with . Till we meet in heaven . Love ya brother

It’s so strange knowing you’re gone now. And knowing you are finally dancing in the heavens. I know you are because that was just who you were. You and I had the most serious, in-depth conversations on such a deeper thinking kind of level. And I feel I got to know you in a way that no one else knew you. The super in-depth side of Rick. Our hundreds of day long conversations that would start at 8am with coffee and not end until 6 or 7pm dinner time. I knew I could always pour my heart out to you over anything and you would always listen. And Visa Versa. I remember on Rickey and I’s wedding day, I got you to come up on the dance floor and dance with me! To this day I don’t know how I did it, but I got you up there to dance with me! I remember the first time you let me shoot the 50 cal! That rush still feels like it was yesterday in my mind. And the times we laughed at Ryder doing something goofy. I don’t know if you knew this... but you were actually the very first person on the planet to know I was pregnant with Ryder. Rickey and I had just found out, and you had come home from work with in those first ten minutes of finding out. And Rickey and I met you on the porch and Rickey said... “Well we have some exciting news to tell you Padrè. You’re going to be a grandpa again!” Your face lit up like a Christmas tree when we told you! I’ll never forget that! You were so excited and happy!!! And the other day when Rickey and I broke the news to Ryder was one of the hardest things we ever had to do. Because he always loved his Pa Pa Rick so much. And you’ll be so proud of him... even though it was hard to tell him... his immediate response was, “Mommy and Daddy, don’t cry. Pa pa is in heaven with Jesus now and he loved Jesus.” The incredible understanding he had was something that I know you had to be spiritually present for. It’s very strange knowing you’re not physically here anymore. For Rickey and I, it’s like a bad nightmare that we can’t wake up from loosing you. Especially since we have infinite memories with you because we were always together. And it just doesn’t seem real that you’re gone. And it breaks our hearts because we know life’s not going to ever be the same with out you in it. But I know, if you could say something from the heavens right now, I know it would be, “Honey... don’t you cry, because where I’m at now is unbelievable, and I don’t want to come back! I LOOOOOVE it here!!!” The song “Landslide” came on the other day and I broke down crying because you and I always talked about that song when it came to life changes and growing older and learning to understand the most out of life. And now that your gone, it hits hard to home for me. And it breaks Rickey and I’s heart because you’re just not with us anymore. We were all always together. Like the 3 then 4 musketeers. I know the puppy girls miss you, and can tell you’re gone. Rickey and I even told them you passed because you loved them soooo much and constantly cuddled and loved on them. It’s going to definitely take some getting use to knowing your not here, but I know your spirit lives on, on so many different spiritual levels. I pray that party in heaven is everything you dreamed it would be and that you’re dancing like no ones watching. We love you Rick, and you’re always forever with us in spirit and heart. Dance on Padrè and give Jesus a hug for us.

I loved him from that first day in Art class. We loved each other for sooo many years. Yes, we had our ups and down but he was always the one for me. So many memories in my head and so much love fills my heart. A heart which is broken in half now. So upset with myself I didn’t get to say good bye. I pray he’s looking down and can feel my Love. He was the love of my life without a doubt and will hold a huge hunk of my heart till the day I die. Yes, fly high my sweet Rick till we meet again.
