Dear Dad, I was so happy to have you in my life. The last couple years we really have gotten to spend a lot of time together and shared a lot of laughs. I am so proud of you and all the great things you have done for so many people. Thanks for holding my hand, giving me hugs and always talking crap on the sport teams I loved. I will miss you but always hold you in my heart. God bless, Dad.
Love, your daughter, Colleen
In loving memory of my father, Ray S. Rickard Jr.
As my mind and heart try and focus on a word, a phrase, a thought

We all have our own
