Revelation 21:3,4 “With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them,and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. (4) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

November 7, 2016 at 11:07 amRick has been a friend, neighbor and realtor to me and my wife for many years. We have often seen him walking on the streets of Priest Lake Park or the Anderson Road fitness trail. Most times he would stop to chat for a few minutes. Although we don’t recall meeting his wife, he spoke fondly of her both before and after her death. We are going to miss seeing you out and about Rick. Our prayers are with the your family especially the children and grandchildren.

November 11, 2016 at 1:17 pmI am very saddened to hear about his loss. In my 15 years of being in real estate, he was one of my favorite realtors to work with. It was such a pleasure to work deals with him. He will be missed.
My sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.

November 11, 2016 at 2:27 pmRick possessed something special. He used to say you had to have the eye of the Tiger and get after it every day. I worked with him for the last 8+ years and I will miss talking to him and hearing stories of how real estate used to be back in the day. He was an inspiration to people who knew him and I will miss him terribly. RIP
