One memory on “Rick A. Boldosser”
Ralph and I have known the Boldossers for a long time. Our kids were in the same classes for a while and on the soccer team at Our Lady Of Lourdes long ago. Time marches on. Rick’s sense of humor was always in the forefront. He never let his health issues get him down and know he attributed a lot of that to his faith and his family especially Deb! We will miss you Rick but know you are safe in the hands of the Lord and you can smile without pain. Prayers and blessings to your whole family.
