Dear Dola and kids I am so sorry to hear of Rickys passing.Dola I was very close to Ricky before he met you. You came along in his life when he needed lifted up. You truly made his life worth living. You made him so happy and was the light of his life when he needed someone most. I had the opportunity to have known him since I was 16.Spent a lot of time with him on the vegi farm. Ricky always made me feel good about myself and was a mentor to me and so many others.When ever I needed to borrow something and I knew he had it he was always there to say yes. No one was ever small to him. He always made people feel good around him. He was there when my Brother Dewey ,Son Joel and I all shot our first bucks .I think he was more excited then we were. He insisted on field dressing all 3 of our deer. He made that moment for us a memory we will all never forget. Tho we didn't see each other much the last few years it was always good to see him when I did .I Loved him like a Brother ,Sincerely Jerry Harman

Dear Dola, Leah and Ryan, Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. We are so shocked and heavy hearted with this sad news. Gentle, kind and caring are the words I would use to describe Rick. This may sound silly but I have always associated licorice with the thought of Rick. When ever he would come pick up Leah and Ryan, all the other kids would flock to his truck to get his licorice. I know he kept it there for just that purpose. A sweet memory of a kind man.

Please know that we are and always will be there for all of you. Hold onto those precious memories , they last forever. Love you all very much Marc and Kerri Morr

Coldwater lost a great man yesterday. Coldwater Township Sunrise Rotary would not be the Club it is today with out Rick's devotion and leadership. I will never forget that jovial face, his laughter, or his song leading. We were so blessed to have him in our Club and to have known him. Dola, Leah, and Ryan, please accept my sincere condolences for your loss.

Condolence From Beth Briscoe

Dola, Leah, and Ryan, Please know that all of you are in my prayers. I always appreciated the model of manhood that Rick showed to my boys as they were growing up. He showed that being a man means showing that love is an action, not a sentiment. Peace to you all.
