 Acknowledgements

 Rick’s family extends heartfelt gratitude to all of his friends and family members for their words of support and friendship, and for their patience in awaiting this service, which was delayed due to his wife Maria’s hospitalization.  Thank you all for your friendship with Rick during his life, and for joining us for this celebration – particularly in this unusual virtual/Zoom format.  We are grateful you could be with us to celebrate Rick, even if virtually, so that we could go forward despite the pandemic.

 This service would not have been possible without the selfless and ever-accommodating efforts of Father Peter, Steve Sonia (who coordinated all of the music for the service), Cantor Erin Byrne, Bruce and Karen Dolimont, and Carmina and Carina Marquez (our Zoom-savvy technical team).
