I am so sorry for your loss. I really enjoyed being around Rick especially as I got older and begin to hang out with the adults of the family. He will be missed. Sorry I couldn't get up there for the services, but I am in the middle of a five day jury trial where I represent a guy accused of attempted murder and the Judge would not continue it as it has been set for two months. Take care and hope to see you all soon.
