Deb ,Ash and Vanessa so sorry to hear about Rick. A life taken to early and a bloody good man. I'm sure the memories will never fade, and he will always be with you.
I will always remember him for giving me sound advice on the sideline and never afraid to voice his option on a 1st XV game. We had some good banter and always respected each others views.
But he was also a very generous and caring man who loved his rugby, farming and most of all his family.
Unfortunately, I'm away when you are having the memorial service, but my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
