This is in memory of a dear pal and a very good man. One could say a thousand kind words about Rick but a few simply tell the story......he was a great husband, father, grandfather, friend and a partner to those who needed a helping hand. R.I.P., buddy.

My heart is sad. I remember when I was young I thought that Rick looked like Robert Redford in the movie Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid. After the tornado in the 1970's Rick was who arrived to take us to safety. Barb I send my love & prayers for you & your family.

Barb & Family, We are saddened by the loss of Rick. He was an icon in Ankeny and at the Country Club. He was very generous with his time and talents. And his wit and humor will be missed. We extend our condolences at this time of grief.

To Barb and Family,
I was shocked when I saw Rick's obituary in The Des Moines Register. Although he was a year younger than I, we shared pretty much the same journey in small-town Webster City. We always knew one another but it wasn't until long after college, marriage, children, grandchildren and beyond that I finally came to know Rick and Barb as friends. Good people, and I will miss Rick. His presence, his laugh, his down-home warmth. Such a gift to so many.
Trite, but true....I will miss him.
