Cousin Rick, you were so much a part of my young life. Each summer when mom and I came to Savannah from Oregon, you came and stayed with Auntie, your nana, for the whole summer. We had fun and did many things together through out all those years. You were so handsome and kind, everyone’s best friend! Each time I visited Savannah, you were always the first person I visited. Loved your wife Peggy, she was perfect for you and she so loved your children and their families. Always wanted you to come to Oregon, time just slipped away, rest with all our loved ones in heaven Rick. You are so loved and will be so missed by the ones you’ve left behind.

So sorry for your loss Peggy and the rest of y’all’s family. I’ve missed not seeing y’all for all these years but I guess we just grew apart. Paul was such a good genuine man, he helped me transition to Savannah so many years ago and he will be missed by many!
