To Rik's family , we just wanted to say how sorry we are for your loss. Rik started out being our Schwann's guy. He always had a big smile on his face when he pulled up to our house. When we would get our order, he wouldn't just hand it to me, he would say, "That's Ok Mrs Bonura I've got it." He would just proceed into the house and put the items in our freezer. Then he would say, " See ya next time". His face would light up when ever he would talk about his family. Our thoughts & prayers are with you. The Bonura's

On behalf of the Northeast Texas District at Schwans, our sincerest sympathies to Rik's family and friends. Rik was a good man and thought about others more than himself. A true noble, loving human being.
May his Memory be Eternal.

My Dearest Rik,
I just wanted to write just a little something about what an awesome person he really is. Whenever I seen him I always had alot of laughter, joy, and tears with him. I was glad he was able to be apart of our family (my brother-in-law). His life was short but well fulfilled with alot of love to go around. He will never be forgotten in my book. Every time I see a volleyball I will think of him. To his family, I will keep you in my prayers always. Love ya Rik.
