Kraig and Family So sorry to hear about the passing of your Father. As we go forward in these troubled times please know I will keep you and your entire family in my prayers. Love, Grandpa Gary

Dear Karla and family, I was saddened to hear of Rick's death this morning. I was always happy and blessed to encounter Rick and his pleasant countenance, he was just "easy to be around". Rick was so proud of his children as it was rare that we did not discuss them every time he came into the office. This world has lost a good man, but heaven received an angel. My prayers are with you during this difficult time. I was honored to be Rick's physician for many years and to participate in some small way in the life of his family. Blessings, David R. Stout M.D.

Karla and family, Levi, I and my family are praying for all of you as we know this will be a difficult time. We pray you find peace and comfort. We are here for all of you. Love :heart: Croquart and Sorensen Family

It was such an honor to know Rick. I have been cutting his hair for years now. He was so proud of his family! We would talk about his kids and grandchildren and he would show me all his recent pictures. He would always remember what I told him about my family and kids and he would always ask for an update on how they were doing! I can honestly say he an extremely big heart. Rick, I consider you and Carolyn as a part of my family and you will be greatly missed!

He will be missed and he did tolerate my chocolate snaps and cheese snack.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
