Your family has our deepest sympathies. We are out of state and unable to attend the services for Rick.
Rick was a good man, a caring and serving person. I enjoyed our time together at work at Great Lakes Utility and goose hunting.
May your extended family be comforted and feel the peace and love of the Holy Spirit as you remember his life and grieve his loss.

Sorry for your loss. Rick “dad” was a great man he was like a second dad to me. He taught me a lot. I have great memories of being at the race track or those late nights in the garage. He will be truly missed.
