My husband Ric was one of a kind. Loving husband, awesome father and father in law. He tought me how to live through his thirst for adventure in everything he did. He loved everyone in his family and all his friends and coworkers. He literally would never hurt a fly. If we had a fly or moth in the house ge eould rather catch it and set it free outside, than kill it. Made me laugh when he would chase them around the house. A lovely man who ledt us too soon. He always told me that he lived a full life with no regrets. Always a kid at heart. Will love and miss you always. Til we meet again. :)
My memories of Ric are that he really loved to have fun and he liked to share his fun with anyone. He taught me a lot of things from driving, skiing and being supportive when I wanted to ride my Harley. Thanks for all the good times and I will truly miss you.
Your sister Konnie
Jan, and family,
We were so sorry to read about Ric's passing. We met you through Racine Yacht Club, and always enjoyed your company, and especially Ric's sense of humor. We send you our deepest sympathy, prayers and healing.
Sincerely,
Jane and Ron Hitzelberger
Words can't describe how I will Miss my dear friend Ric coming into the building to work with me. He always helped me with anything I needed at work and away from work. I remember when I got my last boat, he came over to my house to help me understand how it worked and how to store it for the Winter. I will truly miss his big smile and awesome personality. Until we meet again in heaven. R.I.P. brother.
My deepest sympathy to Ricks family for his loss. May God help you through what is to come.
