Nancy & Children-
Rick will surely be missed by so many people that he touched over the last 35 or 40 years that we knew him. Rick was like a lil brother to me, when we all worked together with the gang at Whitetail Oilfield starting in 1979.
He was always so joyful to be around and always just a pleasure to be with while we either hunted or fished with the boys of Edmond.
We will always be here for you and the children in the event that you or them need anything.
Ricky was a sweet and gentle man. We are stunned and so very very sad that this has happened! All the years I knew Ricky I never heard him say anything mean. He was a kind, loving and good man. We are blessed to have known him. He will be forever in our hearts and we love all of you.
Dear Cordrays, I’m so sorry about Ricky. I’m still on shock. Loved him and you guys. Please forgive for missing funeral. In the middle of a move and just now saw that it was this am. Thought it would be in the afternoon. I’ll come by and see you all. So very sad.
We send our love and deepest condolences. We are with you in spirit in celebration of Rick’s life. We’re praying for you. Uncle Bob & Margie, Cousin Rob & Laurie.
While we were out of town, it was with total shock that we learned that Rick was gone. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. A better man, a better partner, a better friend will not be found. We are proud to have called him a friend and are greater people for having known him. Rick helped so many people and was a true and kind, gentle man.
Sending love to you all and hopes that you will let us know if there is anything we can do to help you.
I along with all the family miss him each and every day. He was a sweet and special piece of the family and we still just miss him so. Just can’t help but wish for just another moment to hug and tell him how much he means to us all and how much we love him.

Prayers for you guys, wish we could be at the services, but due to health issues and commitments we can’t get out of, we can’t make it.
Our Loss
Staring out the limo window
My head against the pane
It hurts so bad that you are gone
We’ll not see you again
Husband, son, brother and father
A gentle giant to us all
But time’s cut short the time we had
Then draped its funeral pall
The fact that we are family
Binds you within our hearts
So time cannot erase our love
Nor tear us all apart
Now our lives are sore and empty
As your leaving’s left a mark
On our thoughts and scattered feelings
Like a painful kind of scar
Rick, we never will forget you
There are times we’re sure to cry
But you know we’ll always love you
Though we never said goodbye
For Dear Friends, you have our sincere love and condolences,
