I have fond memories of playing with Rick and his brother, Ron when we were young – a LONG time ago, We used to ride a go-kart on their farm, and we would visit our grandmother in Shelbyville, Illinois. I can remember playing wiffle ball in her back yard, Rick was the play-by-play announcer, Ron and I would take turns pitching and batting. Those were fun times. So sorry for your loss.
Karen, Kay and I are thinking of you and your family, and are sorry for your loss. Rick was one-of-a-kind and will be missed. Like most everyone who worked with Rick would tell you, he was fun to be around and there was seldom a dull moment in the bureau at the end of shift.I am also sorry that I will be out of town and will not be able to attend Rick's Memorial service.Bob & Kay Pittenger

Karen and Family,Rick and I worked together at DPD for a long time, and I am very sorry for your loss. He was a lot of fun to be around, and you could always depend on him. Bob Heffington, Tucson, AZ
Karen,I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Rick during my years as a Juvenile Probation Officer. Rick would get testy with me sometimes when I didn't think we had enough on a juvenile to justify detention lol. But he awas a good officer and great to work with! My prayers go out to you and you family. Maurice Washington
To the Hazen family:I met Rick shortly after becoming a deputy sheriff in 1977 and worked a few cases together with him during my detective years. Rick was a good cop. I always enjoyed his wit and sense of humor. Anthony would keep me informed of his condition so I know he has been fighting for a long time. I am so sorry for your loss.Jerry Dawson
Dear Karen – Please know that my prayers are with you. I have a lot a fun memories from the many times you, Rick, and I would have lunch at various restaurants in town.
