In Memory of John Ricky Rydalch
John Ricky Rydalch was born May 5, 1959, in Tooele, Utah. He grew up
in Tooele County, the youngest of seven children.
Rick has five children--3 girls and 2 boys, ranging in ages 24 to 8.
He was diagnosed with a brain tumor in September of 1993. The cancer
finally won on November 26, 2000.
Rick was full of life and enjoyed people and hugs.
We chose hospice to have a little rest at the end of his life.
The last 7 months of his life were spent with his loved ones and I can't
think of a better way to spend them.
We miss him so much - some days more than others, but life goes on and
we live each day with him in our hearts.
~ Jeannett Rydalch
