My deepest sympathy goes out to Rick’s family. I saw him, mostly, when he couldn’t see, for more years than either he or I could remember, until Lori took him on. He was a wonderful, caring, good person. I feel very fortunate that I called him friend. Hugs and prayers.
Rick, you were a good cousin and friend. You will be missed so very much. We had a few good times that I will look back on fondly. I’m glad we got to take that trip together to Idaho, even if it was for a sad reason. All my love and support to the family, I pray for your strength in the weeks and months to come, love to you all.
So sorry for the loss of your loved one. Praying you will find peace and comfort in God’s love and tender mercies.
I met Rick shortly after he started with Eau Claire Plumbing. He was a good man and always did a great job.Sorry to hear of your loss with prayers and good thoughts of happy memories of Rick. Rest in peace my friend! Thom.
I am a friend and former coworker of Rick’s. We had many great times together. Bowling, ice fishing, softball among other things. His sense of humor and wit will be missed. Rest in peace Rick.

Sending my condolences to Ricks family and friends. I’ve known Rick since we were kids. He truly was a great man and loving father. I am in shock. May God Bless all of you
I worked with Rick at 1st Su…… He was always willing to help no matter what and when needed, always friendly.
