Rick was a great teammate on the Warwick football team. I had the privilege of being on his team for four seasons. He not only was a star running back, but was our punter, extra point and kick off player. He could do it all and at an excellent level. Despite all this talent he was humble and supportive to all his fellow teammates. Rick was truly a great person to know. Doug Pennington

It was an honor and a pleasure not only work with you but to know you. Talking baseball with me and shutting the window on me every time you knew it was me for fun when I needed something. I will honor you every way I can. You’ll be missed. Alex M

I remember those 4 years of football and your skills as a running back, especially under Coach Sload. Now your time has come– as it almost came around our HS class 50th reunion, as I remember you telling me about your heart problems then. May your faith in Jesus Christ have guided you to the heavenly portals.

Oh my friend. I was so saddened to see this today. You were always a class act. Big hearted, generous and a great teammate in the old HomeSale Mortgage days. Rest easy my friend.

I always have warm memories of you and your family as I pass your childhood home when I visit Lititz and want to drive by Warwick HS.
Those were “the days,” my friend.
