Very sad to hear about Rick! Super nice guy I used to work with on occasion. I know he will be missed very much by all! Deepest condolences to the family.

Sorry to hear of Rick passing. A good friend at work and away from work. I always enjoyed visiting Rick in Morton at the Ranch. He will be missed.

I will surely miss my old friend and coworker. He was a talented bridge man and machine operator you could always count on at work! Since we had both retired it always made my day to call him or receive a call from him! His sense of humor and common sense approach to life is something I will miss the most. Rest in peace old friend!!!

So sorry to hear of the untimely loss of an all around great guy. Sympathies to you, Beth, and yours and Rosie's family.

The world lost a good man. I may not have been Rick’s best friend, but he was certainly mine. He never hesitated to help me (or anyone else!) and I never hesitated to help him. Best neighbors anyone could have. We are deeply hurt ourselves and truly sorry for your loss Beth. You know we are always right next door if you need anything! Rick, I’m going to miss you my friend…

We will miss you my friend, many good times including while we were neighbors. I like to think we were as good of friends as our fathers were. Love you Bud The Weilages

We have wonderful memories of you as a classmate & friend. We thought of you as “Mr. Morton” as you knew everyone in the area & greeted them with a smile & warm conversation! You will be missed by many & remembered by all@

This is such a horrific event. Morton lost a spectacular man and his friends and neighbors lost part of us. I remember Rick (Rosie) from the age of 5 and from that day I always remember that welcoming smile. You will be missed. Sending love and strength to the family. Say hello to your folks and my babysitter KK.. Love, Brenda..
