Rick looks like his Grandfather, Tom Penrose. I knew Pauline and Harold, but lost track of them in the 60’s. God bless the family.
So sorry to hear of Rick’s passing. We were distant cousins on the Rice-Elkins side. God bless and keep the family in His care. Much love.
Saddened to hear of the passing of my old friend. I have many fond memories
Rick and I were partners and friends for many years at Hinshaw roofing. A fantastic guy!
