I met Rick when I played softball with his sister, Janet and his father, Fred was our coach. Rick was always a fun guy. He was a big guy and led an even bigger life! These past few years, my husband, Gary, and I would see Rick at the bowling alley frequently. He would always check with us to see how we were doing and we will certainly miss those visits. Stacia, Norman and Janet, you and your families are in our thoughts and prayers.
