Rick always made me smile. He would start by being serious and by the end of the conversation we were both laughing. I always looked forward to working a shift when he was scheduled. Rick has just relocated to a place better than Hawaii. Prayers to you, Loree, and all the family.

Loree my heart goes out to you with the sadness you will carry. Rick was an amazing man who would light up a room with his presence. You both are so loved. You both did so much for so many people. We all await the day that God will put his hand out and choose us as he did Rick. A song comes to mind right now. "I'll Fly Away".
