My dear friend Rick, where do I start...so many memories! My 30 years in San Francisco began with meeting you at Mattson Lines and continued until I left S.F. & you married Margaret! You were the kindest, funniest, sweetest person I have EVER known. I'm sorry we grew apart but marriage does that and you couldn't have had a more perfect wife to love you! She's everything you are in a woman! I will miss you more than words can say, Rest in Peace my friend, see you on the other side!

We will all miss you, Rick. You set an example of strength and courage throughout many medical challenges, never complaining and always remaining upbeat. I'll always have fond memories of all the Giants and 49ers games we attended together. May you rest in peace. Dana Williams
