I am deeply sorry to hear of Rick's passing. I just happened to see his obituary online this morning when I visited Steen's website. We were good friends and attended Holy Family together. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am very sad about the loss of Rick.. He was a great man. He could always make me laugh and helped my dad get through a very hard time after my mother passed.. My thoughts and prayers are with Chris and the rest of the Family.

I always thought Rick was a great guy! Still do. My heartfelt condolences to all of you. I was one of the nurses that took care of Rick's dad at the VA but I have known Rick a long time. I am very saddened by your loss.

Dear Chris & Claxon Family, I was deeply sorry and surprised at Rick's passing. I've known Rick for many years and I considered him a good friend. I have lived out of state for many years but did get the opportunity to speak with him briefly a couple years ago. He looked the same as he did when I knew him well in the 80's. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

I am deeply saddened at the passing of my friend Rick. I grew up on Williams Ave. and he was my 6th grade bf. I remember the big house on Muncy St., the skating rink. I last saw Rick in 72 but I can see from his picture he hasn't changed one bit. Please know how deeply sorry I am and will be praying for your family. Kevin & Barbie wish I could be there to see you personally.I live in Charleston now and it is not possible for me to be there but I will be thinking of you all. Love, Jayne
