Rick was a lovely, lovely man, his wit was second to none. I never came home from seeing him that he didn’t make me laugh. He will always be remembered with the fondest memories for Veronica and himself, he certainly went out with a bang, the thunder and lightening that night !!!! Bye lovely man. Condolences to the family????
