    I was glad to have Rick as a friend and classmate all through grade and high school and beyond. Alot of great memories together in our younger years. Rest in peace buddy, Myron.

    I remember our visits to the farm while growing up! Having great cousins like Steve, Kathy and Rick assured that we would always have fun. Rick always had a smile on his face and anyone that ever met him, knew what a fine man he was! He is no longer suffering and is enjoying eternal peace with his parents, Uncle Adolph, Aunt Virginia, his brother Steve and his wife Janette and the rest of the family!

    My husband worked with him at the Wahoo streets dept.
    He was always kidding me as we had met a long time ago in Omaha. He met Susan there.
    His smile will be missed.

    Rick was such an ornery guy. He had always something cute to say when he saw you.
    You are all in our thoughts and prayers 🙏 ❤️

    Rick was a great man that I am glad that I had the pleasure of meeting. He always made my shifts easier when he would come into the store. May all of his family and other friends find peace in their hearts not that he is at peace and in no pain. I am so sorry for your loss!
