Condolence: I loved you so much. I wish I wasn't typing to the ghost runner of third base right now. I wish I didn't have to carry you to your grave. I needed you still. I need you still now. I'll miss you everyday of my life, I'll continue to see you in everything I do, like I have this whole first year of you being gone. This is not fair dad. Goodbye then and goodbye again.

Condolence: I am absolutely devastated by the loss of my dear friend Rick. We shared many great times in San Diego over the last few years and had numerous conversations about life after he moved to Oklahoma. Rick taught me to Live, Love and Laugh again...I will always be his Baby Bear!

Condolence: I worked with Rick for many years and many details on armed assignments, uniformed and plainclothes out here in San Diego. I trusted no one more. Please send my sincere condolences to his family and friends. He was a good partner and better friend.

Condolence: My sister is Mary, who is Rickey Jr.'s mom. Mary only had good things to say about Rickey Sr. and I enjoyed his company every time we met. I remember one time, when I was first married he and Mary spent the night at our little crumby first apartment. He was so nice and complimentary. He and Mary had no complaints about sleeping on the floor and the constant interruptions in sleep from our infant son. In the morning, he had no complaints about eating cereal and having to wait for the shower. He treated my sister and my family with great respect and dignity. You must have been very proud of him. I am grateful for the pleasure of knowing him the short time I did. I hope you take comfort in the knowledge he was loved and will be missed by many people. Please turn to God's word in this tragic time for true comfort and solace. Our family is greatly sorry for your loss. If there is anything we can do to easy your pain, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Condolence: I love you dad. I wish I could of had more time with you. I wish I would have kept in touch better. It so unfair.
