Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Dear Frank and Pat, We read of Rick’s death today in the newspaper. We were stunned, and our thoughts and prayers go out to you. You two have now experienced the tragic death of two of your three children. That seems to us to be too much for you to be expected to bear. Our hearts feel heavy for you. We lift you up in our prayers that you will be granted relief from your pain. Know that you have friends and people who care about you and wish you well. Many of us would like to help you in any way we can. With love and prayers, Leigh and Allen Johnson
I met Ric many years ago through Patti Bondor and discovered we lived only a stones throw from each other in Raleigh. We soon found we had common bonds through our love of life, scouting, Hurricanes hockey and most importantly as fathers. Ric was a good man and dedicated father. We shared a lot of laughs and good times with friends and family. May he rest in peace and forever in the memory of those whose lives he touched. My condolences to his friends and family, especially his children, Nick and Christina. Blessings & Peace, McCray, Josh and Thomas Harris
Many years ago when I was a struggling single mother, & Ric was first dating my cousin Vicky, he opened his heart and home to me and my daughter Kendra who was only 2. I think that sums Ric up! He was a very kind and generous person who loved people and life! He will be missed. Rest in Peace Ric.. Sincerely, Patti, Kendra and Doug Bondor.
