Dear Rita:

We just learned of Rick's death. Seeing his great smile in the online picture makes me think of all the interesting conversations we have had over the years. I have always enjoyed my garden decorations that he gave me on a trip you made through Indianapolis. I know that you, your children and grandchildren will cherish all your wonderful memories of this husband, father, and grandfather. Wish we could be there to give you a hug. Fondly, Maribeth

Dear Rita and Family.....Rick was a very good friend of ours from the Donelson YMCA water aerobics program. He was very friendly and always had a kind word and the "news" about everything and everyone! He will be missed by all of his family, friends and associates.
