    To Jordan
    You don’t know me but Rick was one of my best friends growing up in Black Jack Mo. Our paths grew apart only due to starting families and the different life changes that occur raising children. I was shocked to hear about Rick, he was always larger than life!
    As kids we rode bikes, played Hockey, baseball, wiffleball as well as softball as we got older. We got in trouble together and some times we should have but never got caught.
    We were on the same page with so many things, including names our sons Jordan.
    Your Father was a truly great person and I regret not seeing him for so many years.
    I will always have the memories of Rick as you will for the remainder of our life’s!!
