I met Rick back in the late 80's when we worked across the street from each other on Skidaway Rd.He was a great person and always had a personality that was a trademark I will never forget. I lost touch of Rick in the 90's ,but we became neighbors when I moved to Livingston ave.to be with Cindy who became my wife. Always had good times with Rick and Eric. Especially Superbowl games!

To the family and friends of Mr. Wohltman: I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest sympathy to your family. No doubt the loss of such a dear loved one will be felt by many. Please take comfort in the promise found at Isaiah 26:19 that the dead will live and will rise up. What a joy that will be. May this and the many other promises in God's word continue to comfort your family.

Ricky was one of my very first playmates. I will forever cherish all of the wonderful years we had growing up and playing together all over Granddaddy Claude's farm outside of Twin City, Georgia, and on Daddy's farm outside of Garfield. Seems like the two of us were always laughing from something mischievous we'd gotten into with Eric and Johnna, or fussing as if we were siblings! Thank you, dear Lord, for bringing Ricky into this world and for making him my cousin. He sure has a lot of people who are going to miss him dearly. Ricky, please give a big kiss and a hug for me to my awesome Daddy, my beautiful Grandmama Essie Mae, and my sweet red haired Granddaddy Claude. I love you. Until we meet again...

We thank God for Rick's life and presence among us. We claim God's promise of Romans 8:38-39: 'For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.' Enjoy your new life with your Lord, Rick! You're loved and missed down here. Pastor Tom

What a kind sweet spirit taken way too soon. My heart breaks and I miss him already. For my Bubba, you have been with him your entire life and I can only imagine the pain you are feeling. But know how much I love you and that I am here for you. You have made our Big Brother very proud! I love you, Punkinhead
