Two years ago today my life  changed forever.
  I miss you dad, more than I could ever express in writing.  You still are and will always be the best dad a kid could’ve ever asked for.   
Christmas isn’t the same, but I will always believe in the spirit of the season as you taught me as a child.  Never stop believing.  Thanks Santa ❤️

Two years ago today, I lost my best friend, and father.
I miss you every day. I'd give anything to have you back. I miss our long chats about everything and nothing.  I hope you are at peace and I'll see you again someday.

Merry Christmas Sweetie!!!!  You were the REAL Santa Clause sent from Heaven to earth to touch our lives in so many ways.  We miss you each and every day but we knew in our hearts that you could not stay.  Your kindness, your sweetness, your humor and generosity will always be remembered by so many people.   I love you forever to the moon and back.   Cathy

Happy Anniversary Sweetie-
Not a day goes by without me thinking about you and how much I love you and miss you.  Today was our special day timeless and  locked away in my heart.  God gives me the strength to get through each day until I am in your arms again.  You were the love of my life. 

Thinking about you big time today. Happy Father’s Day in heaven from your little girl.  
Love you Dad 

Dearest Rick and wonderful father, 
We miss you every minute of the day and want you to know as you are smiling down at us that you were the very best husband and father we could of ever had.  I remember the day you carried me across the threshold. I thank God every day for the years that we had you with us. 
Happy Father’s Day!!

Cath I just came across this I am so sorry I didn't know.  I will keep you in my prayers

It's hard to believe that a year has passed.  I miss you every day. You weren't just my dad. You were my best friend. I love you dad.

Today’s been a hard day to work through dad.  
Christmas time isn’t  the same without our Santa.  
Thinking of you, so I’ve made your favorite chocolate chip cookies today.  I’ll always remember mom making sure you got them fresh out of the oven.   Don’t worry, I’ll continue this tradition, and will make sure I never have to take a spatula to them to whack out the puffiness! :) 
Love you forever 
KJ 

Merry Christmas sweetheart!  Miss you every single day of the year, and especially at Christmas time.  You are my special angel. 
 I love you to the moon and back!

Happy birthday dad. I miss you so much. You weren't 
Just my father, you were  my best friend.  
You used to say to me, "I taught you everything you know. I just didn't teach you everything I know." But I think you taught me more than you know.  I will always miss our looooong talks. I will always miss you.

Happy birthday dad.  Miss you like crazy. I will celebrate today with an open heart. I know a part of you is and will always be with me. 

Love you 
KJ 

Happy Birthday Sweetie!!  We miss your smiling face so much. You are forever in our hearts and mind. Love you forever!!
Cathy

We worked together at Westinghouse back in the 80s. He was always warm hearted, loyal, sincere and a good friend. Although I lost touch with him through the years I always remembered him fondly. And always will. My prayers go to him and to Cathy.

I miss you each and every day. I love you Rick   

   You taught me so much and I know you are proud of all the accomplishments I've made in life.   It's because of your support and love I am who I am today.       Thank you being my dad.  
 
" Nothing can ever take away the love a heart holds dear. Fond memories linger everyday, Remembrance will always keep you near"

I love you dad.

Your  little KJ   

I could always count on Rick to help me out and go the extra mile when I needed it on the numerous turbine projects he and I worked.  His customers knew they could depend upon Rick to do what ever was humanly possible to support their needs.  He made my work at our customers sites so much easier and he always helped with a smile and a kind word.  He was a rarity in the high stress business we participated.  I don't remember one angry word coming from Rick no matter how demanding and stressful our work became.  He was a true gentleman.  I will miss him.

Sorry to hear of Rick passing. I got to know Rick through work, I worked at the Colver Power Plant in Colver, Pa. Thoughts and prayers to you  all during this very hard time.

Rick was a wonderful person, neighbor and friend.  He will be dearly missed.  

He was such a fun loving guy not only to us at work but to all the children he volunteered for at the family  Christmas parties, Easter party and picnics. He was always  smiling, laughing and loved joking around.  Always kind to all. I will always remember him.

Rick was the Love of my Life.  I will miss his warm smile and voice each and every day but our separation is only temporary and for now he lives on in my heart until we meet again.  He was a great man always looking out for his family and friends. 

Cathy, I was so sorry to hear about Ric.  He was a great guy.  My sincere condolences. 

I will surely Miss Uncle Rick! He was always such a kind, happy man and a wonderful uncle and great-uncle! I’m so glad my aunt and my cousin had him in their lives, he was such a loving, hard working provider and my aunt’s soul mate.  Orlando just won’t be the same without him! May he rest in the arms of angels and his Maker as he no longer suffering and back to himself in Heaven. 

...and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. - Revelation 7:17

Only happy smiles now, like when you would meet us at Disney when we were in town from Pittsburgh.  Your smiles with our grandchildren.

When you met Irish for the first time in the driveway and cradled him and promised to take good care of him!  What a smile!

Your latest talks with Motsy on the phone and when she last visited.

May your lovely family and all of us remember those smiles and how you loved us all!!!

Flo and Dwight



Thinking of you all at this heart breaking time.   “Mr” Rick as my daughter and I refer to him as, was an exceptional man.   He always  welcomed us into  their home for every holiday, every special occasion or just simple family gathering.  Especially when we had nobody  here and  nowhere to go in Florida.   This extended family has become our immediate family.   Forever grateful...  our prayers, thoughts and love are with all of you during this time and always. Much love, Tiffany and Sophia xo
