Ive seen fire & Ive seen rain. Ive seen sunny days that I thought would never end. Ive seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought Id see you again. And I suppose I will . . .

I met you through Rhonda Murillo, working together at the ball park concession stand. You were so much fun to work with. Made the day so much better. I admired the fact you could play drums as I always wish that I had that talent. I know you will leave a huge whole in many peoples hearts. I'm so glad I got to know you.
RIP Rick
