Rick was a great friend and athlete. we wrestled during the school year and played softball during the summer on the Lake Built sponsored team along with Rick Lake, Beep Mccarty, Ron Vomering. He had a heart of gold. During my junior year he along with his sister Debbie and cousin Kim stopped by the house every morning to give me a ride to school. I really enjoyed the friendship I had with Rick and will cherish it alway. Oregonia Road was way to hard on too many of our classmates...Lori Epp (Young)
I look at this handsome picture of Rick and remember him. I can still see him in the hallways of LHS,smiling, friendly and carrying on with classmates. Although it has been many years, with this tribute, his spirit remains.
