Karen, Sam, Mike and Ginger, words can't express the deep loss that you and Rick's host of friends have suffered. He was one of a kind and a very special person. He will be missed by all who were fortunate to know him. Our sincerest sympathies.

Mike Vail. I am so sorry for you in your loss of your brother Rick. Mike he idolized you. He talked about you all the time. I will miss him very much.

Karen and Sammy I am sorry for the loss of Rick. He was an exceptional person, college roommate and friend for over 45 years. He will be sadly missed yet his memory will go on forever. Love you both.

Rick and I played basketball together in junior high and high school. I hadnt seen him for many years, but was so happy to meet up at a reunion five years ago. He was the same great guy that I remembered calm, friendly, caring and wise. I also learned in recent years that he was a great writer, and I enjoyed reading his travel blog. Rest In Peace, my friend.
