I think of Rickey often. I wonder what he would have to say about all the things going on in the world. My husband and I would stay up late into the night talking about politics and all kinds of things with Rickey. We miss this bright light from our lives to this day.

I miss Rick and the great conversations we had. I wish he knew that my nephew is marrying a relative of his in September. She had never met Rick, but knew of him. I told her all about RIck and his wonderful, loving Bridgeport family and Anita. Friends like Rick live in our hearts long after they are gone.

I think of Rick often. I wonder what he would say about all the crazy things that are happening. We had wonderful discussions with Rick about politics, religion, everything and often disagreed. We miss Ricky and will never forget him.

Met Ricky when we were young State’s Attorneys. He was highly intelligent, warm and loved to laugh. Rick loved his family and his wife Anita very much. Rick was a true friend and I think of him often and miss being able to talk to him. We have wonderful memories of Rick and the good times together. May my dear friend Rest In Peace.

I know it's very difficult to say "goodbye" to loved ones even when we know they have gone on to a heavenly reward. Please know that my heart and my thoughts are with you and your family. There is great peace in knowing a loved one has lived a good life for which they will be rewarded. There is also great sadness in losing contact with a loving and genuine person that profoundly affected our lives and our beings. Your soulmate may be gone from this earth, but your hearts are together forever. I will pray for your comfort.

Rick was the sweetest friend. He was fiercely loyal to his friends and family. He was honest, highly intelligent and a good man. Ricky made an impression on me when we met and we have been friends for over thirty years. He married Anita and her love for him sustained him through difficult times in his life. Rick may be taken from us soon, but his life was blessed with a wife who lived her wedding vows. She loved Rick for better, for worse, in sickness and in health till death do they part. This is my comfort now.

Anita, family and Cosentino family;

Our sincerest and deepest condolences
on the loss of a great man; Cousin Ricky. May God provide you with comfort and care during this most difficult of times.

No matter how old we are, losing a Loved One is one of the deepest sorrows a heart can know. But may his goodness, his caring, and his wisdom live on-like a legacy of love that will always be with you. And just as he comforted you, may the memory of his love surround you now and bring you peace always.

God be with you
