I just want the family to know that I have a special place in my heart for him our Fathers had similar jobs and I have known him for close to 60 years
.
There arent too many people like him he was definetly one in a million.
I will miss him very much . He did an awful lot for more people than you can count.
God bless everyone that loved him

Kathy, the " 4GALS " have my sincere condolences. I had no idea of the fight Rick was going through, knowing him, he didn't give in at all.The picture you guys chose is perfect, I saw that look many times, when we talked about a Ford for him or one of the girls. I can't say this in person as I am going through some medical issues myself right now. Please tell all the Whalens my sorrow in losing one of the best classmates anyone could ever have.
John McMullen,
Woltz and Wind Ford

Condolences to the Whalen family, Rick reached out to me in March after my wife died of breast cancer, he told me of his battle, and I wished him a speedy recovery, so sorry he didn't make it. We hadn't spoken since high school, we were not that close but we're friends. Again my deepest sympathy.
