Pop, as we all called him, was such a strong, energetic man. He always lived life to the fullest. He was the type of man that would help anyone. We all miss him so much. He had been through so much, he battled cancer and won, and a bypass just months before the accident. He never let ANYTHING stop him. I remember right after the bypass surgery he decided he would climb on the roof and clean the gutters. It killed him to sit still!

In October 2007 that strong loving man was taken from us. He was driving a dump truck and it over turned and he was ejected from the vehicle. He was hospitalized and fought over a year till January 30, 2009.

I hope he knows how much he meant to us and how much we all love him and miss him. Life is just not the same without him. He was so happy I was pregnant and could not wait to meet my son and be a new granpa. Life just is't fair sometimes. I guess God needed him more than we did. We miss you Rick and love you so much.

Waiting at the Door

I can’t explain so deep inside
The very fabric of my soul
Only a heart that grieves such loss
Can ever truly understand

It’s like you’re waiting at the door
Until a loved one comes back home
You feel a longing in your heart
When they appear the longing stops

But in a loss that never ends
You’re always standing at that door
You feel the longing in the breeze
So incomplete and never filled

I cannot find the words to say
Just what it’s like to want forever
Never seeing them again
Just always waiting at the door
