Loyal, generous, humble, hardworking, thoughtful and loving are just a few ways your friends and loved ones have described you and I can’t think of any better tribute to the man you became. I watched you take on the roll of being a father to my grandkids with your whole heart. Your loyalty to my stepdaughter was unmatched as well as your love of family. There is no doubt you will be missed by many but our family will forever have a place in our heart missing. I’m going to miss you Rick and I hope that we can find peace in the legacy that you’ve left behind with your children. Rest Easy
We are heartbroken to hear of Ricky’s passing. He was such a huge part of our gang back in the youth hockey days. We have so many memories and still tell so many stories that start with “Remember the time Ricky…” He was one of a kind with a grin that would melt your heart. We are so proud of the man he became. Deepest sympathy to his wife and children, and to Rich and Liane. Rest peacefully Ricky. You will forever live in our memories.
Coach & Mary Carroll
