Pat and family, our hearts are heavy with the news that Rick has lost his long struggle with a failing heart. You would have never know it because it seemed so big as he was always a giver.....not a taker. His compassion and concern for others, even to his own detriment, was so obvious to us which made our friendship special. Thank you for your friendship and willingness to share those dinner outings with us. We especially are endebted to Rick for his valuable research knowledge and the many contributions to our shared family history. We pray that he will experience and enjoy his eternal rest for eternity. Fern and Darcy Yerex
