The family would like to extend special thanks to Crown Park Rehabilitation in Cortland, Joseph Brennan at Tri-County NP, Coventry EMS, the doctors and nurses at Fox Hospital and his care aide, Violet Baxter for their care and compassion.

There will be no service at this time.  A private burial will take place in the spring when the fields begin to awaken once more.  Ricard’s legacy of hard work will live on through his family.
