God Bless You, Rick. We'll miss you. Rest in the peace of Christ.

Kathy my heart goes out to you. There are few words of comfort, I know. Never feel alone, we love you and will be there for you always.
Rick will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Always remember that smile of his as a boy. That same smile showed up the last time I saw him. I am so happy I got to him many hugs.
Rest in peace my nephew.
Aunt Kathy and uncle Chris

This seems so unreal. Rick has been my best friend for the last 16 years and my boyfriend for the last 1.5 years. I am in complete denial at this moment. I never imagined my world without him. Thank you for giving him life and allowing him to be in mine. I'm going to miss him so much my heart will always keep him. My heart also goes out to all of you. Kathy I'm so sorry. Rick will be missed. Thank you for everything I love you!

May the Lord bless and keep you during this difficult time. Please accept my sincere and deepest condolences.

Me a Rick worked together at Alliance One many years ago. We quickly became buddies and hung out after work and played a lot of pool. What can I say? He completely installed a sound system in my van I had. All he asked was that I have a few brewskey’s for him. When I was short in cash Rick took me to a shop to get my inspection on my van passed when it clearly should’ve failed. Always looking out for me. Last time we hung out was at a Sixers game. I had an extra ticket and gave it to him. He brought his son with him. I told him I only had one extra ticket and he simply said. “Don’t worry about it. We’ll get in.” 🤣 Guess what? They both got in with one ticket! That’s the kind of guy he was. He was a great friend. And even though we recently vowed to get together again, unfortunately it never happened. Sorry to see you go Cookie. You were a real one! Rest in peace. 🙏🏾
