My condolences to Rick's family. Rick was a friend and neighbor (I lived on Hughes) since Jr. High.
I'll always remember Rick was one of the first guys I knew who had a car, and riding around with him in that sweet 1964 Chevy Impala brings back a lot of memories.
I work at the airport, and I would run into Rick occasionally while he was working on the UPS ramp, and we would talk and catch up.
Sorry again for your loss. I'm going to miss him.
