Dear Deborah, We were so sorry to hear of Ricks passing. I was on my way to California on the 19th and Jack was on his way to the mountains for hunting. Jack just returned and read the newspapers and told me. We will remember him fondly for his laugh and our softball games and the House of Pizza. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Karen and Jack Eckert

My deepest condolences to the Koelsch family.  I have known Rick for 11 years of friendship and business.  One of my first interactions with Rick was on a trip to CT to visit a university installation.  We trained up and back from CT that day. I spent the better part of 15 hours with Rick. On the train ride home, we exchanged stories of our families, our interests outside of work and our church community.  We started that trip as new business associates and walked off that train as friends.  That’s the kind of guy Rick was.  We also had a very memorable trip to Pocono Race Track full of laughs and memories that I will never forget.  I will miss Rick dearly.  Business, golf, friendship, and fun.  That’s how I’ll remember Rick.  My prayers go out to Deb and the rest of Ricks family.  God bless.

My condolences to the family.  Rick was a wonderful, wonderful guy.  I met Rick about 11 years ago through business with Millersville.  I took Rick on a trip to CT to visit a facility.  I spent about 15 hours with Rick that day, touring the campus and back and forth on a train, exchanging stories of our families, interests and our church community.  We really bonded that day and walked off that train as friends.  Thats the kind of guy Rick was.  I enjoyed many personal and business activities with Rick over the next 10 years, including a memorable trip to Pocono Raceway.  What a great time.   I will really miss Rick.  I’m very saddened by his loss.
My prayers to you Deb and your family.

Abby and Family,
I am sorry I never got to know Rick, but what I know of the extraordinary daughter he raised, and from what I have read here, he must have been one hell of a guy. Your pain is felt by many, and I encourage you to reach out to those who surround you to hold you up over these next very difficult days and months.
My love is sent to all who are touched by this unspeakable loss….Niki Swatski.

To Deb and family,
Rick will certainly be missed by those of us at HUMC. His singing voice, his love of Jesus, and his love of serving are certainly his legacy. How comforting to know he is with our Savior in heaven!!! May you find peace in the coming days. Your family is in my prayers.

To Rick’s family my sincere condolences for your loss! I enjoyed working with Rick on Trustees at HUMC and more recently helping with his newest projects at Impact Missions! His positive “can do” attitude will be deeply missed by many!!
