Rick did a lot of plaster work for us over the years, most recently over the summer. He also did a lot of plaster repair for my husband’s HVAC business. He was good at his craft, but more than that, he was someone who obviously loved his family and seemed to always have a twinkle in his eye. We were so sorry to hear of his passing.

Grief never ends... but it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith... It is the price of LOVE -author unknown
