I can't believe it has been over a year since we had spoken. I think of you during the winter recalling how you would tell me " I can't wait to come up to New York when it snows" I smile while I'm out there shoveling.
You were a great friend and are still sorely missed. Rest In peace my friend.

I remember back in 1965 at uncle Harry aunt Helens house
Near wilmette Illinois having dinner and Rick was there at that time I was told we were cousins, at that time I was 5 years old. I was always told stories about Rick by my grand mother God rest her soul, about all our relatives in Greece. Rick you have been an inspiration in my life and oddly enough I work by Halas hall.
You will greatly missed.

Although I never had a chance to meet him, his presence was felt everywhere. I remember that 1949 light blue Buick that he owned. It was mostly visible parked near the dormitory where the...
