Rick Denton The Loud Quiet

Rick & Clancy have been enjoying life together for 28 years...married for 24. Starting August 2023, they now have two college aged kiddos and are about to enter a new phase of life. The house is quieter than before...it's a loud quiet, indeed. Join them as they laugh, cry and yes, probably argue while trying to figure out how to live the empty nest - new adventures / challenges await!
