I did not know you Sir, but I do know how much your sister Claudia loved you. I wish I could have helped more not just you but your family. I know you are in the hands of the Lord now and feeling no more pain. All well and with Claudia’s Son.
My prayers for all of Rick’s family. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. May God comfort you and give you peace. Cherish all the precious memories and may become eternal.
With love,

Prayers for the Little family, this past two years has been so hard for you all. May the Lord Jesus Christ bring peace to your hearts and souls, know that those who have left us have gone to a beautiful place and watch over you each and every day. The Dupuis family will raise you up in our prayers.
I can’t believe it…I just talked to Rich not long ago. I used to date Rich in the early 80s.. I drove his El Camino he had so many times.. He was a big part of my life then. I’m so sorry…I remember Claudia and his brother that lived beside him. Rest in Peace Rich! 💖✝️✝️✝️
My condolences to the Rick’s family .I’m sorry for your loss. May you find comfort from the scripture at 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 .Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort at this time.
Rick, we will miss you. Many times over the years I’d see you up at Tire City with Mike and his wife Joanne. I’d come with my father-in-law Eggie Garth Jr. to visit. You always had a joke to tell. Some of them I could never repeat. You were a good man. I’m glad to have known you.
Happy Birthday Rick-my life has been so empty without you.
