To the Yurczyk Family,
I would like to offer my condolences, I met Ric in 2009, when he was the investigator of a job site accident that resulted in the death of a 19 year old. Throughout a difficult and very emotional investigation Ric conducted himself as a consummate professional. May your fond memories of better days soon replace the sorrow you feel today. RIP Ric.
Sincerely,
Tom Carew
So sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Our dear brother in law and friend, our hearts are broken that you had to leave us. You were always there for us when we needed you, in sad times and happy times. Our hearts have another piece broken. Rest now until we see you again. With all our love to Maryann, Deanna, Mikey, Laura and Louise.
Nancy and I are very saddened by your loss. Ric was a very friendly guy. Will never forget the numerous conversations about music and cars at picnics and Holidays over the years.
Maryann and Deanna… I am so unbelivable sorry for your loss! I was shocked to hear that Ric passed away. I remember going over to your house when I was in second and third grade. I remember you guys so vividly. Ric was always so kind. When Deanna moved back to Connecticut with Michael and we came to his birthday party Ric and I talked for a long time in your kitchen about working for the government. He was so supportive. I am saddened to hear that he left so soon. Please let me know if you need anything. Oxox Michelle Mase
