On behalf of the 6918th Alumni we want to express our thoughts and prayers to Rick’s family during your time of loss. May Richard’s memories bring peace and comfort to you all. Rest in Peace to our “Fallen Eagle”
Served with Rick and we will miss him and his smiling face. He was a great leader and mentor and his passing will be felt by many. Please accept my and my family sincerest condolences on your loss. He touched many lives and influenced countless Airmen with his honorable service in the USAF. Dennis and Joyce
To the Nelson Family: Words cannot express all the sorrow others feel or the sympathy sent to you in your loss. May you draw comfort and strength from our God, Jehovah. Please consider these texts for your comfort: 2 Corinthians 1: 3,4 Acts 17:31 John 5: 28,29 May you have peace in the days ahead.
Rick was a man of honor and my heart goes out to Karen and the entire family. He fought the good fight and now has his reward–he will always be with you. Love, Connie
