Rick Ballard Obituary

My deepest sympathy, Jo! Seems so young for him to pass! He was always so kind to me and my family! I am here, always, if you need anything! Much love and prayers

Hey Rickard,
You're going to be sadly missed by any and all that really knew you in life!
Your family has my deepest consolences!
We used to be pretty good friends back in our teen years together. It's a shame we ended up going our separate ways in life, and that we had grew further and further apart in our latter years of life!
I really screwed up when we had made plans to go into the Air Force together and I instead packed up and headed to Florida back in '72!
But I guess our Lord had other paths and plans in life for us to follow!
I can still remember how we used to burn up the back roads in "Big Green" from Bellevue to Sandusky and hang out at Elmer's junkyard and at Hosko's house, and also all the fun we used to have in many a picnic and fishing between East Harbour State Park and out in Sandusky Bay!
There was many a good memories that we had way back then!
Well old friend, this has been very bad news in hearing about your departure to a new adventure, a new beginning, to a new path our Lord has led you to!
A new start our Lord will give to us all on the other side of the coin!
I believe in that our Lord gives us a new beginning and not just the end to what we used to have here in life!
Rick, Please do me a big favor, And say hi to my "Mel", you will know and remember her, as she was your friend in life also!
And someday, I hope to see you and her again in our eternities, but I hope not for a little while yet for me! As I still got a few things yet to do here!
Your friend in life, Dave M.

Rick,
You will be sadly missed by all your friends, especially the ones that really knew you back in the day!
We used to be pretty tight buds back in those days of our teen years!
It's a shame we ended up going our separate ways in life and grew further and further apart in our latter years!
I really screwed up when we had planned to go into the Air Force together and I ended up going to Florida instead!
But I guess our Lord had different paths for us to take and follow in our lifes!
You will be sadly missed in life by any and all that really knew you!
I can still remember in how we used to burn up the back roads in Big Green from Bellevue to Sandusky and hang out at Elmer's Junkyard and at Hosko's house!
Well friend, Start enjoying the other side of the coin now and please say hi to my Mel for me and I hope to see you someday in eternity, but I hope that is not real soon for me at least!
Your friend, Dave M.
