I knew Marj had found a wonderful man on the day that they were married. Rick was moved to tears to be marrying my sister. It was very endearing.
I have myriad of favorite memories stretching from our time together in Montana in the early years to our more recent trip to Aruba. The tropical breezes, white beaches and sunshine were the perfect backdrop for our many adventures. He loved the open jeep four wheeling on the dunes of the unihabited side of the island, hiking back to a private ocean area to snorkel and layghing at Marj sitting on the white sandy deserted beach attempting to learn to kite surf from our gracious guide Arias. Our evening at the decadently romantic restaurant The Old Man and the Sea was incredible and fortuitously for Rick, Marj, Michael, Mel, Bob and I we had it to ourselves.
It was obvious that Rick and Marj shared a strong love. They raised thee beautiful children, enjoyed two grandkids and now grandkids to com that will feel the love of Rick through each one of their family members.
Rick, you are loved and greatly missed. It's been difficult this year watching everyone cope and adjust to your loss, but I kow you are proud of how they are managing. All your sign help a lot so keep sending them to your family.
I could feel your presence recently while I recuperated from my fractured leg. Thank you for bein my guardian angel. Love you lots.
