Rick was an amazing human being, had the pleasure of Vherfing with him a few times over the past few months and was a bit more than a little shocked when I heard he had passed, not only will he be sorely missed by his family around him but also by his family here on Ccom, Rick we will be thinking of you and praying for you for many years to come my brother!
Curt and Ray, brothers thanks for keeping me in the loop and for doing this for everyone, means a lot and shows just what awesome brothers you are, I'm proud to call each of you family
I am down for the hat, card and anything else I can jump in on, just let me know please! -
I like that idea. Doesn't look like I will be able to give today so it might have to wait a month.curtpick:
willing to do that with no problem.brianetz1:i will be sure to donate blood in his honor.
if you guys want it might be a good idea to take a quick selfie while you are giving blood and title the pic. Maybe if enough of the guys do it, curt could grab all the pics and send his soon an email with all the pics in it donating in honor of Rick. -
For the record Mrs. Waldron's name is Karen for those of you sending cards to her and the family.curtpick:Rick Waldron

UPDATE re: donations (a copy of the email i just received, with a line breaks formating for ease of reading & clarity)
Dear Mr. Bauman,
Folks interested in making a donation to Manresa in memory of an individual are asked to make said donation to Manresa House of Retreats at P.O. Box 89 Convent, LA 70723-0089. For donations to be given to our permanent endowment fund, known as the Hynes Fund, please make note of that intent on the check. In addition to a donation being given to the Hynes Fund folks also may give to our building and maintenacne fund and or to our general operations fund. Funds to these accounts enable us to be able tocontinue offering retreats to individuals who are unable to meet the suggested donation. We never turn folks away if they are unable to give the suggested donation, which this year is $300.00. We will let the Waldron family know of any donations that we receive in Rick's memory.
Thank you for your interest in thinking of ways to pay Rick this tribute.
God Bless,
Tim Murphy

So there ya go folks. Send what you can if this is what you want to do.
Also be sure to do whatever you see fit on the pictures and hat and cards. For myself I will more than likely send a donation to the retreat and a card to the family. See Drews post above for the cards, Joes Post for the hat, and Brians Post on giving blood.
Thanks everyone your all good peeps ,Rick can be proud. God Bless his soul. -
Good job guys, I'm sure all the donations and items will b very helpful and nice.
