I went to school with Rick and Cathy. Prayers for all of Rick's family.
Rest In Peace dear cousin. Will always remember all the good times together and your wonderful laugh. Thoughts and prayers to Cathy and entire family. Love you, Kahla
I grew up with Rick in Clay City. I hadn't seen him in years and had hoped to visit during the Class of '71 class reunion. I remember getting up to a "lot of no good" with him - there was always a great twinkle in those eyes just letting you know he was getting up to something. I know he will be sorely missed by Cathy and his kids and grandkids. Rest in Peace, my friend.
