Very sorry to hear of Ricks passing. My heartfelt sympathy to Mrs Carter, Wayne, Debbie, Cavell and Crystal. Rick was a very kind and loving brother in law that brought joy to our lives. He did what he could for everyone he knew without ever being asked.  While living in Birchy Bay he was not only the man around the house for his own family but for me and my parents as well.  I will be forever grateful for the way he took care of us. 
May God provide comfort to you in this time of sorrow.

I have known rick for a long time...he will be sadly missed...im so sorry girls for the loss of your father...rest in peace rick...u were a wonderful man, sleep well my friend...see u on the other side.

We have many great memories of Ricky that would take days to reiterate.  He wrote the most amazing song for our wedding and performed for our guests, of which many were in tears when he finished.   Ricky was a very talented and soft hearted man.  He was certainly taken from this world too soon.  Our love goes out to the family.  He left us with two very special young ladies so a part of him will remain with us.

My deepest condolences to the Carter family. Rick was just a super guy and one of the best friends I ever had. His big smile and great sense of humour is something I'll always remember, They say some people come and go but some stay in you heart forever. My dear friend, you will no doubt be in my heart forever. Thinking about you all today and in the days ahead.

My deepest sympathy going out to Rick's Family,So sorry for your loss.Rick was a wonderful friend whom i first met when he lived in Birchy Bay,NL...Then I worked with him for years in Ontario.I am still in shock that you are gone,but i guess God had other plans for you!But this is not a Good-Bye it's until we meet again..RIP Buddy!!Like the song goes "Only The Good Die Young"

Rest in peace Rick.You were a great person

There's few words to describe how I feel, but heartache is at the top of my list right now. Rick was a true friend over the years, and will be missed more than words could ever say. I will never forget you; as everyone else he touched with his laughter, and especially his music. From silly kids songs like "Rags the Dog" to "Stairway to Heaven" he was a true musician. You're on your own stairway now Rick, one free of illness and pain. We all have a special angel looking out to us. See you on the other side My Friend. <3

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Although I have only met Him a few times, He seemed to be a wonderful and caring  person. My sincere sympathy to the family.
