Memories and Condolences

I met Rick at Molex back around Y2K. I remember when he would bring in paczki for everyone at the office. I enjoyed Rick's funny and insightful Kentucky Derby write-up each year and when it didn't come last year, I feared the worst. I remember how proud Rick was in 2008 when he won the handicapping tournament at the Orleans in Las Vegas. What an accomplishment. I always enjoyed Rick's friendship over the years.
He was a treasure.
God bless.
