We have all lost a great friend and person. ….he was the one who could do like everything. Glad I got to talk to him a few days ago…fly high ….
Great guy, always had something smart to say. What an honor to know Rick. He will definitely be missed but never forgotten. So many memories of him coaching hockey.
God please watch over and comfort Cindy and Shelby as they navigate through the days ahead.
God Bless, Dan Fitzgerald
