Rick was always welcoming and a nice person. God received an angel.
Sorry for the families loss. Im sure he will be missed. Anytime we were around Rick he was always the good guy.
Rick will be missed. He always had a smile on his face and he was a loving, caring, patient guy. He was a regular at the Moose in Palmetto, FL and both Linda and Rick loved going to Florida every winter. Our thoughts are with Linda and family. Friends, Lynn & Fred Hascher
Have so many memories of all the good times at Terra Ceia RV park. He was always kind and friendly. He will be missed.
Sorry to hear about Rick’s passing. Many great memories about Rick. He will be missed by myself and many others. Prayers for Linda, Jim, Todd and their families.
