Rosemary, Rick and the family! I have so many wonderful memories at Rick's Cafe, I can't even count them. So many nights Rick sat at the piano with me, and usually a pretty girl, and we sang & laughed, and then some... :) He loved his Elvis :) He was soooooo good to me for so many years at the piano. I remember one snowy night, I walked in to play piano. Rick said, Jon it will be real slow...how would you like to go to a Patriots game with us? He had an extra seat !!! So many memorable New Years Eve's at Rick's... I know how much he loved the piano bar!
I always kind of thought of Rick as a modern day Humphrey Bogart! Tough on the outside...Sweet on the inside :)

Moved to Florida a few years ago. I just heard the news. So sorry I wasn't there with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Rick's was the best piano bar I ever worked !!!!!!!!
God Bless Rick !
