    Nicole, Chase, and Caroline,
    I am so sorry to hear of Rick’s passing. He was such a sweet man. I am so glad I had the privilege of getting to know him while he stayed in Knoxville. I will never forget the smile he always had on his face, and the way his eyes always lit up talking about Caroline and his family in Kentucky. I so wish he could have received a transplant and his could have continued on this Earth with each of you. I know he is walking those beautiful streets of gold in heaven without any breathing issues.
    I am praying for each of you, and all your family in Kentucky during this time. Much love and prayers for all. May God comfort during this season.

    Rick fought the good fight. He was a good Christian man, husband, Dad, and brother. He was such a wonderful person to be around. He always had a wonderful smile. He was very good to me. We will miss him very much.

    My heart hurts for Cathy and this family. Rick was a wonderful friend and neighbor. His face would beam when he was outside watching and playing with his grandchildren. My love, thoughts, and prayers to all of his wonderful family. Cathy, if I can ever do anything at all for any of you, please don’t hesitate to ask.
