    Cannot put into words what he meant to my wife and I, so we cannot begin to imagine your loss and grief. We have known him for 30 years. Was hoping to have at least 30 more. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you and our deepest heartfelt condolences, Ragu and Carrie Ozanich.

    Jan and Bennii, I am very sorry for your loss. Rick was in my homeroom in fifth grade at Clinton Central. I have fond memories of him in my class. As I remember, he especially enjoyed history. I was aware of his plans to attend Howe Military School and I thought it would be a good fit for him. My sincere condolences for your families. Rick was too young. So sad to loose a son and a brother.
