Hi there. My name is Bat (for those who know me from the rock bands, and Tom Bennett for those who know me outside of those arenas) and I spent a LOT of time with Dr. Rick when we were young. I also was in Chorus, theater and Swing Choir with his sister Karen. When we were in high school, Rick and I had a few classes together and we bonded over music. We played together here & there, and then didn't see each other for about three or four years. In 1989 we formed an Albuquerque area rock band called "Problem Child" and we played in numerous locations throughout New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona. I have quite a few photos of those years.
He was a tremendously funny person for someone who was generally regarded by others as being quiet & shy. I don't have any bad recollections of the times we spent together.
I am saddened for Ricky's family, and will spend quite a bit of time thinking about him, I am sure.
