Karen & Family, I am so sorry for your loss! I always found Rick to be a man who made people comfortable to be around & talk to. I also admired how he cared for your backyard landscaping. It reminded me of my husband...& I'm also grateful he helped to rescue a few of my husband's fish. Cherish the good memories! Prayers...🙏

Today was a very, very sad day to hear of the passing of my very dear friend. I had the pleasure of meeting Rick Over fifty years ago. Over those many years, we had many good times together traveling to many sporting events, especially big red basketball games and football games. So many fun times we spent together eith moments.I will never forget. Rick was more than a friend to just me. He was a wonderful friend to my family especially to my three sons who really respected him for his friendship. Both of us enjoyed watching our kids grow up and I could not have asked for a better friend. Rick was always there for me anytime I needed anything and he would never be afraid to call upon me if he needed any help with anything. Rick was always the type of person who was fun to be around, always with a laugh snd always, with the attitude to make, you feel good about life. Just so sad to see him gone. Big red nation has truly lost a great fan and a great supporter of every program that existed at four twenty north forth street. I can't attest that when my son's played for big red, he was always there with a kind and supportive word and always there during the good times and the bad times to offer words of encouragement. Again my wife and children will miss him dearly and may God bless his soul and may you rest in peace my good friend. And my deepest sympathy to his entire family and to you, Karen, may God bless you and keep you safe. Annette and Steve Seminara.
