Sally, I don’t know if you visit this site still, but I came across this and I just want to tell you how very sad I was to see that Rick is now gone. He had a personality larger than life and Greg and I treasure the time we got to know you and spend with you. Please accept our sincere condolences. So happy to see you got to have the family you two wanted. Love,Greg and Mary of CA.

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

I am so sorry. When I think of Rick Sr. I think of him always fixing things, building things and holding the hugest cup of his favorite beverage his Pepsi.
