We are so sorry about Rick’s passing. He was such a wonderful person who we all loved dearly. The biggest man I ever knew with the biggest heart. We love you all and have been and will continue to send strength and love. Kisses and hugs to all of you.
Uncle Rick will be truly missed. He had a place in our hearts and will forever live on in our memories. Our deepest condolences to my family. Sending hugs and strength to everyone.
Rick and I came from the same neighborhood. Our connection was, we were both uncles to my beautiful nieces, Melissa and Bridgette. I always looked forward to talking with Rick,at family functions,due to the fact, we were both easy going guys and could carry on an interesting conversation, that wasn’t forced or awkward. The Last time I saw Rick,was at my Dad’s, wake. Always a gentleman, always a pleasure to be around. Another good person, gone too soon. RIP,you will be missed by many.
Christine & Bridget,
Offering you my condolences on the loss of your husband & uncle. May you be comforted during this difficult time by your many memories of the times you were together with him over the years.

We are so sad to hear of Rick’s passing. He was a great man who gave some much love and generosity to others. He will surely be missed. We wish we could come in for the memorial service but the weather right now makes travel difficult. We send our deepest condolences to all of the family. You are all in our prayers.
Rick was a true friend and one of my favorite people. He was always there when needed and helped us a lot during Pat’s illness. Our fishing trips won’t be the same without the “big guy” around. He was a Rock and you could always count on him being a steady and friendly face when you needed it. We all loved him and the kiddies seem to love him the most. A gentle giant. We will all miss him dearly. Good bye my Friend.
Dear chap it family; I am so sorry to hear about your loss. It’s never easy. No words seen to help so all I will say is I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. I will pray that God is with you during your time of grieving. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Warm regards,,
Lori and Sal Gerage
Our thoughts and prayers to the Chaput family. May Rick rest in peace.
To Mike, Susie & all of your families- I’m so sad to have heard of Rick’s passing and sad for your loss. I hadn’t seen Rick in a while but it was always nice to experience his dry sense of humor when our paths crossed. I’m glad to have kept him entertained in Mr. Wolfe’s History class back in the day. My thoughts & prayers are with you all.
