I miss you, Daddy. 🤍 Beer and a cheers. I love you. ❤️

Rick, I miss you my friend. There were times that we didn’t see Eye 2 Eye but we never left one another without shaking hands and making sure that there were no bad feelings. You had a great deal of knowledge that you had bestowed upon me, and your carpentry work I don’t think there’s words for it the case that you built in your house that was visible from either side was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I hate that you are gone, but I will see you again I feel honored to have had the opportunity to call you my friend , and that will never end rest peacefully in heaven, brother. 

Just found out you are gone Rick. " I would be remiss"if I didn't thank you for your service to country, your camaraderie among fellow Hog members, and your humor. We applogize Liz, for missing the service, we didn't know.  Somewhere up there, Rick is riding hard and long. RIP my friend.

Services at DFW National Cemetery are at 10:00 am Thursday, June 23.

Rick was a pain in the ass to some and rightfully so. They deserved it. He did not mince words. I wish everyone was as honest as Rick.  He always gave me his best advice.  Rick lived his life his way.  
  Rick lived the American dream.  He joined the military at a young age, served his country honorably, later got into the computer industry while it was new. He did very well and retired early. That is the American dream.. something I don’t hear very much of anymore.
  A very intelligent individual, Rick was backed up by his “lady”, Liz Ibex. That is how Rick introduced her.  Liz, my prayers are with you. 
  Rick did everything  right, he worked hard and he played hard. He retired 20 or more years ago, a feat that many Americans wish they could do.  He enjoyed his health for most of those years. I hope to be as healthy as he was for as many years. I shared many a Budweiser with Rick at the Legion, VFW and his home.  We rode our motorcycles to Sturgis, SD in 2012, along with another fine fellow named Jay Massey. Memories not soon forgotten.
  Rick always said “let’s go to the house for some fellowship.”  He was very hospitable and when it was time to leave at 0-dark in the morning , he would say “uno mas!” One more!  It was hard to turn Rick down. Uno mas turned into dos or tres mas.  
  Rick, God bless you my friend. I knew when we first met that this day would arrive. It sucks. We seem to never have enough time. You are a Marine at heart, my friend.  Semper Fidelis.

Rick,

Although we never rode together, you were a CVMA brother. I feel honored to have shared the moments at your home with you and to hear your stories. Brave men like you walked before our generation and led the way for this nation. Thank you for your service. Rest easy. We have the watch.

RIP my friend, you were one BAMF! Always enjoyed having a brew with you at the Legion! You will be missed my friend!

Liz,  I am so sorry to hear about Rick's passing.  He was a unique person and a good man.  I know that you  will miss him greatly.  He is probably riding with the other three up there now with no pain.


I am going to miss your thoughts and candor .  You were a service to our country and a good friend to many.  You will be missed my brother.

Dear Liz and family, 

    Please accept our deepest condolences for the loss of Rick,  he was a friend to many, I’m extremely honored to have had  the opportunity to call him a friend.  He without a doubt will be missed, and unquestionably Will never be forgotten. I’m praying that the good Lord above will wrap his arms around the family and provide them with warmth, strength and comfort during this very difficult time. Thank you Rick for your unwavering service to our country,  Rest in Peace my friend, Rest In Peace.


Just a wonderful human being.  Special as they come.  RIP.  Will be truly missed.  Janis Martin

Rick, it was an honor knowing you. Thank you for your service to our country. You were truly a free spirit. R.I.P. my friend. We will miss you. 

Rest in peace and thank you for your service brother

He was a great man, a brother, and served this great nation with Honor.  Rest in peace brother.

You were a brother, a friend and mentor, I'm going to miss you Doc.

He always said I was the love of his life. What he didn't realize was he was my only true love.  We couldn't agree on whether we had been together 35 years (me) or 37 years (him) but whichever it was they were great years. 

Liz
