Jeanie and family,
We are so glad to have known
Rick as our Walloon Lake neighbor. He was so welcoming, generous with his
time and fun loving. You all are a wonderful family and are in our thoughts and prayers.
Very sorry to hear the news. Please know we have you all in our thoughts. I will always remember Rick with a smile on his face and a story on Herrick that makes you laugh.
Gary,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of the Norcross family during this time.
Dear Jeanie,
All our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I always had good conversations with Rick at the club when we all returned for the summer and he always made you feel so good with his friendly demeanor. Our time with him last summer will be cherished. Karen and Chris Brieden
My heart reaches out to my family with the loss of a favored Uncle. I know he was an integral and joyous part of the lives of his sons and grandchildren and his legacy and spirit will live on thru the lives he has touched.
So wonderful that the services could be held at a time so many were gathered for Thanksgiving and were able to Give Thanks for knowing such a wonderful man.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Norcross family, we are sorry for your loss.

On this Thanksgiving Day, I feel most blessed for having had Rick as a beautiful part of my Walloon summers. Our traditional golf games, our line dancing lessons, our meals together...his contagious smile and gracious manners, his deep love for his dear Jeanie, his modest demeanor, our laughter over the Cracker Jack Box story...oh, how he will be missed. Jeanie, my heart goes out to you. My last memory of the two of you at the Barrell Back such a short time ago, I treasure!
Please feel our support and love and prayers.
I regret that I only knew Rick and Jeanie for the past sixteen years. Rick and his father made me SO proud to be a very minor part of the Norcross Family.
A definite loss to me and a profound loss to his family.
Sending our love, prayers, and gratitude.

Jeanie, I am so sorry to hear about Rick. There are no words to say other than I have been right where you are and can somewhat understand your feelings at this time. I do want you to know I am praying for you and the entire family. Prayer is the greatest comfort we have and never forget that God I promises never to leave you and He will see you through! My prayer is that you will feel His love in a very special way and know He can give you peace even now.
Love to you and the family,
Jean
Rick and I spent many summers at Walloon as teenagers. This is where we became and remain friends. A wonderful guy. God bless you, Jeanie.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.

Jeanie and Herrick, I am so sad and heartbroken to hear about Rick. Church will never be the same for me without him there. We had so much fun before church started each week talking about different things. He was a wonderful man and a good friend. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Butch

Dear, dear Jeannie,
Jos and I are so sorry. That man was always so gracious and had that wonderful smile on his face. Made one feel like he was glad to see you and loved a quick visit. He will be missed by many, but certainly the weight of the loss falls on you and his beloved family. You are all in our prayers.
Very fondly, Debbie and Jos
