How sorry we were to hear of Ricky’s passing. He loved a good time- and usually made good times. We enjoyed seeing him ( and everyone else) at Salisbury, and appreciated he and Kathy ( and Patrick & Anne) coming to Henry’s memorial last year.
There was no one like him!! So sorry for your troubles…. Fondly, John & Ann( Welch) Kearney
Condolences on Rick's passing. A true "Reggie" legend and a kind and decent human being.
In addition to his immediate family, Kathy, Shaun and Colleen, Rick had a large wonderful Irish family of parents, grandchildren, sister, brothers, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews and cousins, so many cousins. Naturally, family gatherings became a way to see extended family. Rick’s love of family, warm summers and the beach all became the perfect driver for Rick to organize his annual party at Salisbury Beach. The grills would be smoking, the pots were boiling and great food would be coming in, left and right. The ocean was our play land the kids would frolic in the water under watchful eyes of aunts and uncles. The weather couldn’t dampen spirits and chants like “Hooray for whoever, hooray at last”. When families started departing they would get a rendition of “We hate to see you go.”
Rick and Kathy, with a few helping hands, put a terrific time together. A time that all looked forward to. We will miss you Rick.
Anne and Pat
We will so miss Rick as our dear neighbor. We will miss his hardy wave and seeing him out in his garden . He gifted us a Rose of Shannon shrub from his collection and we will always think of him when seeing and caring for it. He was such a wonderful wood worker and I love the wooden tray he made me during covid times and I use it all the time. Such a kind and sweet man - you are in our thoughts Kathy.
My condolences to Kathy and family. I remember Rick playing softball with the old Herman Hall and working with him at Greater Lawrence and listening to him singing Irish songs out of tune every morning . Rest in peace my friend.
Mike Bryson.
