Rick--

You were a good neighbor in the short time that I knew you, very cordial, humorous, and wise in the ways of nature. You lived with gusto.

May you rest in peace!

I am sorry to hear RICK passed away. He was a good friend of ours. He was alway`s good to me. He helped me out with my pinewood derby car. Years ago and I took first place in cub scouts in Clarksville back in 1998. He was alway`s doing something either working on car`s or Hunting. My favorite memory is watching NASCAR out in the Garage.

I'm so sorry to hear about Rick. I am an old childhood friend of his, and we lost touch for quite a few years. A couple of years ago we ran into each other, and it was as if we were best friends the whole time. What a nice person he had continued to be. I am really sorry for your loss. I'd like to share a story I still tell to this day. When we were kids...[as in 14 maybe], Rick, myself and Tom Kleinke put together 18 bucks[6 a piece] and bought a 1948 Whizzer and then we would have "top end" runs up and down the Clarksville hill. We had so much fun on that, that all 3 of us continued on with motorcycles, and motorcycles became the center piece of my life....I still dread the winter because it seperates me from my "baby" ....Rick, I'll continue telling that story and keep you in my thoughts until I join you some day..Take care old friend.....Don

#12 aka the quick one aka rick--
We will miss our wrestling phone calls, visiting in the garage and we will never be able to thank you enough for all the help you gave us with our house. Rick was one of our true friends and was able to be there for us (even if it meant no beer!) when we needed help.

"mom" if you ever need anything-im sure you have our number-please call anytime!
