He showed us all that it’s okay to follow your own path in life, however difficult that path might be. “Whenever there is a tomorrow when we’re not together there is something you must always remember: You are braver that you believe, stronger that you seem and smarter that you think. But the most important thing is even if we are apart – I’ll always be with you.” – A.A. Milne.
We know you are jammin hard wherever you are!
A private family celebration of Rick’s life will be held at a later date.
