Condolence From: Laurie-Ann Fisher
Condolence: Rick shared so many talents with so many people. I have so many great memories back to Records on Wheels, the Cool apt. on Timothy St., and then reuniting decades later to form Lalo, Rick having Sunday dinners at our home with my mom, Rick's playing and
sharing music at our kids public school and under the bridge at Green Lane for our Girl Guides walk to Main St.

Luanne, Eric and Amy, we are thinking of you at this time of such a loss. Rick will be in so many peoples memories whom he touched with his unique personality, unreal musical talents and his hilarious laugh which we will never forget!
RIP Rick.
The Fisher Family
Mark, Laurie-Ann, Emma and Claire

Condolence: So sorry to hear of Rick’s passing (he’ll always be Merrick to me). He was a good friend of mine in the early 1960’s. I was so impressed with his amazing skill at playing guitar. He patiently taught me some chords which got me going on guitar. I am forever indebted to him for his patience, kindness and friendship. May God comfort you with His love and grace in this time.
