Very sorry to hear of Rick´s passing. Many good memories drumming together, cutting Christmas trees and hanging out at Catholic Central. He was a positive influence and genuine nice guy. My sympathies to Sara and all of Rick´s family and friends.

I looked at my phone to see when we last communicated, it was 9/8/24. We were really looking forward to that next conversation. In the time since, we've thought about you a lot as we walk by the two track to the lake. Rick Linke was a beautiful man who had a great smile and positive presence, always so kind, fun and positive during visits. Losing Rick puts a load on our hearts. Sara and family, please know you're in our prayers. God bless.

Was always a pleasure to see him at the lumberyard anytime that I stopped in and he was around. I hope any hardship due to his passing will be minimized

To Sara and family of Rick Linke I offer my sincere condolences for your loss of Rick.I have so many fond memories of Rick. Yes, the motorcycle rides the Blessing of the bikes each year in Baldwin Michigan. Our love for cars and many of our conversations over the years. It was so nice of you to stop by and chat with us at First Street beach just before you left for your last ride. I was so grateful how you treated me always at your lumber company. Finally, when I was hired in at AKZO Salt as a Supervisor I always appreciated your kindness and guidance each day while working at AKZO SALT. Rick you left us all way to soon in life brother. I for one will never forget you and always will cherish many conversations we shared. You were a fine young man. Prayers for your family and loved ones. Ride on little brother
