Was so sad to hear fellow classmate and high school friend Rick had gone home to be with the Savior. You left too soon Rick. I only heard about your passing through the Deming High School alumni.

I remember your family's bakery and the great donuts during my high school years. You were an awesome baseball player too. I only hope that your transition to heaven was peaceful and painless. God bless the Uzueta family.
