So very sorry to hear of your loss. Your family's our in my prayers.

Rest In Peace Rick, so many memories at the Lincoln playground, Football,basketball, baseball,doing wheelies on our stingray bikes, playing chase, the good old days, I have fond memories,I will never forget Rick, one of the Lincoln boys.

To All of Rick's Loves, 

I've tried sending this previously to no avail...perhaps removing a certain word might allow it to be posted : )

We we so shocked and heartbroken to read of Rick's passing.  As my mom so eloquently stated, we could not have asked for nicer neighbors.  And it's true...upon hearing that two cute guys were moving in....my sister and I had it made living right next door - whenever the boys would mow the lawn, we were the first ones out sitting on the lawn chairs to watch "Shoulders" - as all of us VERY young neighborhood teenage girls coined them : )   Mr. and Mrs. Sharp, along with other neighbors took us under their wings when our dad died suddenly and unexpectantly of a heart attack.  Mrs. Sharp was instrumental in organizing the STITCH & (rhymes with stitches but starts with a B)  which helped our mom get through rough times and they still meet weekly til this day!  If you only knew how often we talk about and wonder about all of you.  Just the week before Rick's passing, mom and Stephen tried finding you on FB, etc.   Kayla, I hope you find yourself surrounded by the same gift of love and comfort during this part of the journey that we received so many years ago.

When you gather to grieve, to celebrate, and remember, know that we are in that circle with you in spirit with our thoughts and prayers. Blessings- Sylvia & Victor

You left way too soon and without permission!  Happy Trails mi hermano.

Dearest Sylvia,Kayla and Family.Our deepest sympathy to you all.. We will always remember Ricky with fondness and laughter. Im sure that is how he would like to be remembered. <3 to you all

God bless Rick and the entire Sharp family. Will always remember the incredible smile and that  awful Phillies jacket. The Langley family

I will always remember Rick's big smile and happy laugh.  Thinking of you, Kayla, Sylvia and family during this hard time.
Much love,
Kim & Billy Graham

Ricky,your laughter,jokes will be missed!

Rick AKA SHARPIE was truly one of the good guys and always up for a great time.  It's been years since we've crossed paths,but I have many fond memories from years past. The SHARP HOME was like a second home to many of us. Bobbi and Pat were the greatest.  My deepest sympathy to Tim and family and daughter, Kayla.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the family in the loss of your love one. May God who see the pain of heart and tears give you needed comfort to continue to endure day by day. God promise on a paradise earth, He will wipe all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death suffering, crying, or pain.   Psalm 83:18, Isaiah 45:18,  2 Kings 20:5

Tim and Sharp family, my condolences to all
.  It has been many many years since I have seen Either of you, but reading the obituary brought back many great memories  of my teenage years that were spent on 14th street  at your parents house. I have lost track of everyone through the years, but the memories will always be with me! 
Once again so sorry for your loss

I think I am still in denial. Rick will surely be missed by his American Legion family in Carmel CA. My deepest sympathy to all who knew and loved him. My heart hurts for us all.

Sharp wit and sense of humor sorely missed

I'm very sorry to Rick's family and friends.I haven't seen him in many years, I went to Raub Jr High & Allen High School with Rick! May you all find some kind of peace through this sadness.    Cindy (Buffo ) Koch

Razor,Liz,and family , Sorry to hear about Rick. I believe we spent more time laughing with each other than actually talking/conversing. That means something to me. He was a really great guy.

To Tim and Rick,s families,
Rick was an amazing friend and one of the best people I have ever known. I will always love him and hope to see him again. Jim Emery

To Rick's Family and Tim,

I was deeply saddened to read about Rick's passing.  Just seeing his picture conjured up many, many fond memories from years gone by.  I spent many, many hours in the Sharp household as a teenager - playing pinochle, playing ping pong in the basement, making late night runs to Yocco's and Vince,s and just hanging out with friends.  Sharp's was the place to be for a kid in the area of 14th & Union Sts.  Ricky was the "little" guy and the youngest among us who always wanted to do what we did.  He always had a great big smile -except when he and Tim would get into it. Again, please accept my condolences and to Ricky - thanks for the memories!

My sincere condolences to his family and friends! Rick was a great guy and enjoyed every moment spent with him. The angels have come and taken him to a peaceful loving place! RIP Rick!

To the Sharp family. So sorry for your loss . Rick was a good friend and I have great memories from back in the good old school days. He always had that beautiful smile and was fun to be around. He will be missed by many. My deepest condolences.

Rest now and I'll be seeing you.
Love Always, Debra

Rick lived next door to us in Allentown and though it has been years since we've seen them, I remember them well. The girls in the neighborhood secretly and jokingly referred to him as "Shoulders"! Pat and Bobbie were very special to us and  and we always wondered what became od Tim and Rick. We were very saddened by the news of his passing. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

 My deepest condolences to the Sharp family for this much to early loss of their loved one. 
 My most unforgettable and meaningful memories are those from my childhood, and the Sharp family was a part of it. Who could forget about all the activities and families that lived in the neighborhood which boarded the Linc. I can't even begin to share all the experiences spent while we were trying to figure out how to grow up.  Mrs. Sharp had the open house policy which we took advantage of often, but back then that was normal. Mr. Sharp always wore a smile and addressed you with a friendly greeting while walking past the house from Trinkles. 
 I will say a prayer tonight for Rick and his family, but I will fondly look back at a time when things were sincere and uncomplicated. Thanks for the memories Rick.

DEAR TIM, WOW SO SORRY TO LEARN OF RICKS PASSING. ITS BEEN YRS SINCE HE HAS BEEN HOME BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN HERE IN ALLENTOWN.WE HAD MANY GREAT TIMES AT YOUR PARENTS HOUSE ON NEW YRS DAY. AN IN THAT GREAT POOL.RICK AN I HAD A REALLY SPECIAL FRIENDSHIP,IL MISS HIM. GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY TIM AN YOU AN RICK R IN OUR PRAYERS

So sorry to hear. Spent many great times with Rick. Wonderful memories of concerts, the road, parties, East coast, West coast, etc., etc...  Always a very generous, kind, funny and insightful individual. My regret is that I did not talk to Rick in a number of years. My thoughts are with his family.

Ricky, though many years have passed you still hold a very special piece of my heart.  Rest in God's peace, god-father, until we meet again. 
Love always, Jessica

Where do I begin?  I looked for Rick and Tim but never could come up with an address.  I knew their parents who lived next door to me in Allentown.  A more wonderful family you could not find.  My husband died and left 5 children and the Sharp's were my lifesaver.  They hired my sons for odd jobs and they became like 2nd parents to them.  After they died I lost track of them but always remembered Ricky and Tim and did try to look for them but to no avail.  I did give up but I wanted to let them know how much their family meant to me.  I never got the chance to tell Rick that he had great parents and so he must have been a special person.  I remember him always as I do his whole family.  Sorry for Rick's family.  Be so proud of who he became.  I always remember of Rick being special and his daughter will carry on for him.  I always said I was going to write a book about my fantastic neighbors and Rick you were part of them.
