Rick, with a heavy heart I say good bye. I will miss your laugh and the twinkle in your eyes when you would tell a joke. Rest in peace.
So sorry to hear of Ricks passing. He was one of my favorites at the mill. He loved showing me pics of his grandkids when I went to the warehouse for paperwork. Rest easy Warehouse Rick.
Sincerely,
Georgeanne Hall and family
Though it has been many years since I’ve seen my cousin Rick, childhood memories make me smile. Condolences to Linda, Mike, Danny, and his many loving friends and family.
