Rick, I met you a few times when your cousin Teri brought me over and it had been a while since I had laughed so hard with the stories you, Jason, and Teri told me. I wish there would be more times to sit in the garage and listen to more stories with you. I am grateful that I had the privilege of meeting you. Rest easy Rick. I'll be praying for the family and friends left behind.
