Rest in Peace Rick We had an awesome childhood growing up in our neighborhood. I still laugh everytime I think of you calling me Ned , thanks to the Bloomington Sun. I’ll never forget you Rick
We’ll always remember Rick as a kind, smiling and a caring loving person. We are so sorry for your loss. We are sharing in your sadness and praying for you all during this most difficult time. There will always be a void in the Halvorson reunions. Fond Memories of Rick will continue and stories will be told. He will be missed and now can rest with our Lord. Our love
To one of the sweetest nicest guys ever.
Rick, I will always cherish our Emmaus and high school days.
I’m so happy we reconnected at our high school reunion and
again at Emmaus the week before you passed away.
I feel blessed that we were able to share memories, laughs and one last hug.
Rest in Peace my friend.
Rick use to help me load my semi trailer up in the mornings before I went out on the street for my route at abf freight. He was a great hardworking guy always had something funny to say and was a great person to work with.
Thank you so much!
Thank you! He had so much fun at that high school reunion!
God bless you all in this time of grief.
My husband Brian and I are next door neighbors to Rick and we just learned of his passing. We are so devastated to hear of this. He was the best neighbor a person could ask for and our neighborhood and spending time in our back yard, where we were almost always for sure to see him walk down the fence line and would stop to chat, will never be the same. Our thoughts and prayers to family and friends. Rick was most definitely one of the “good” ones! He will be very missed.
Thank you so much! He loved his neighbors!
