Bert so sorry to hear of Ricks passing. I will remember him as someone who was always ready to help out wherever he was needed. God bless to the whole DeBoer family.

Sandy and family,we are so sorry for your loss of Rick. He was a good friend and neighbor. Every time we ran into him he’d say”how are you kids doing?” We always got a kick out of that.I know he’ll be greatly missed.

I am so very sorry for the loss of a kind and caring man. Rick was a kid from my childhood . Rick was a very important person in my mom's life at Court Place, always caring and tending to her needs . He was a great friend to her. Fly High  on your new Journey Rick. 💞

Many memories,ofRick.One in particular though stands out in my mind,Rick rode to Georia in 86 with my brother Daryl,I Decided one day that we would all pile in the car,and head for Tybee island.We get there been there awhile and all of a sudden Rick screams Shark and the people flew out of the ocean.It was dolphins.😊Great guy 4ever in my❤🙏

To the family I am so sorry for your loss . 

Rest in peace my dear friend. You were the best custodian floor man that I ever had work for me. Remembering the times that I would see you on the street or at The Filling Station and we always stop to chat. I missed your face when I left Pekin Manor. But it was always nice to see you occasionally. You were fun-loving good soul I love you and will miss you dearly. My son Randy passed away on this day in 1969 so when I think of him I will also also think of you.
