The last time we saw Rick was at Savana's graduation party a year or so ago. He had us rolling with laughter as usual! He raced my 15 year old daughter down a street with socks but no shoes to show he could run faster than her. He might have won except for tripping and rolling down the road instead. He was one of those people you instantly loved and never forget. As I have been saying over and over, "I'm going to miss that bonehead!" Love to all, especially Ciarra, Savana, and Emma. See you Wednesday.
Love, Dick, Tasha, McKenna, and Mason

I fell in love with Rick at age 17 in 1991...our first daughter Ciarra Rose arrived on April 26, 1995 and our second daughter Savana Rane came on July 13, 1997. We were married in 2000. I was happy to call you my friend these last few years again. Thank you for giving me the best part of my life...our daughters. You will be forever missed Rick. See you in heaven someday.

Rick was such a wonderful caregiver to our son Scott and we came to love him because of his kind and loving nature. His laugh was contagious and he and Scott made many memories together that we will remember forever. Rick was always there if we needed anything when we were visiting from Calif. from transportation to & from the airport to anything in between. Thank you Rick for sharing Scott's Ride with our son. Such a special time for our family.
We will miss you Rick and you will live forever in our hearts.
Jack & Becky Gasper & our entire California family
