  1. I was very sad to hear that Ric passed away. I met Ric when we worked at North East Hospital in 1995. He was on the elevator telling jokes and just always a very funny, good natured man. I always looked forward to seeing him at work because he brightened up everyone’s day. He later met my mother who worked there in housekeeping and they hit it off very well and lived together for several years. He was always sweet as can be to me and my two boys and we stayed with them on Beverly Lane several times. My mom always wanted to remarry and hoped it would be with Ric, but he didn’t want to get married. After all, he made it to nearly 68 without being married, so why start now. Ha ha I agreed, why get married. They were happy, but for some reason my mom really wanted to be married and they ended up breaking up over it. I always wished things had turned out differently. They parted ways., but I thought about Ric often. He was just a great person. I loved all his antiques and going to the flea market with him on the weekends. He could grill a mean steak and we sat out watching his deer on the back porch a lot…. And yelling at the Squirrels that constantly got into his bird houses and feeders. My mother came to live with us in New Hampshire late 2007 but I always thought about Ric and mailed him Christmas cards every couple of years when I’d get them in the mail early enough to arrive by Christmas. I was never good at getting cards out in time. Ha ha I just wanted to say that Ric was a very special person to me, my mom and my family and I’ll always remember him and miss him. I wish that I had known he was so ill, I’d have tried to go see him before he passed away. I hope he is exploring whatever comes after this life and seeing all the miracles of the universe and heaven. Rest in Peace Ric. Our deepest sympathy and respect to his family, the many nieces and nephews (Robert and Sandy Heynis), and to his sister Roselyn and sister- in- law Barbara. Im very sad that he couldn’t stay with us longer and I just hope one day we see him again. Soar with the Angels, Ric.
