I really enjoyed playing golf with Rick on the weekends. My condolences to you, Pat, and the rest of Rick’s family and friends.
Rick could always bring a laugh when he played golf – he had humor. Did not know him well yet he will be missed. Prayers for his family in this hard time.
I am so sorry for your loss, Pat. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Only knowing Rick, through the couple of conversations we have shared, what comes to mind immediately in these photos is joy. And as one of the first to inspire me in my career, it was- and remains your joy and that laugh that cross my mind often. I hope the love, joy and laughter you shared will also bring you peace. Thinking of you.
