Marianne, I am so very sorry for your loss. I will never forget how his personality lit up the room when I met him. He was a larger than life guy with a wonderful outlook on life. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

The party never really reached that sweet spot til Ricky showed up. One of my most favorite people ever. He was a completely unique individual. There is no substitute.
My favorite memory is him asking Micah and I if we would join a soccer league with him. Sure, why not, I was expecting a rec league, a beer league. Nope. Not for Rick. He signed us up for a competitive league full of 30 something’s that we’re sure that this game the MLS was there scouting talent. Needless to say, we got absolutely rocked. Housed. Decimated. 10 games in a row. Rick saw it and put himself in goal for every game knowing he was going to get 30 shots a game to the face. Total class act. All this to say, Rick might have got you in a jam occasionally, but it was always a good time and he was always smack dab in the middle of it with you.
It’s been a long time since those crazy college days but I’ll always remember Rick’s laugh and his unique perspective on just about everything. Zany is actually a perfect word to sum up his ethos. When not being zany, Rick could get deep on life and never seemed to stress out. Sending love and strength to Marianne and the kids.
Joe G or as Rick called me Gohaygaaaaaaaa
Rick was a great man. He was one of the first friends I made in Oneonta where we went to college. Easy going, quick to laugh, a good friend.
I will miss him.
