My Deepest Sympathies go out to the Salminen family. I am so very sorry.

We recently met after many years, his warm smile bridged that more than decade gap. We spoke of our experiences past and recent and his place in Maine... We will miss that warm smile and optimistic attitude.

I had just met up with Rick about three weeks ago after many absent years when we were kids. Was great to visit with him and talk about the old days. He will be missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. He was an unique individual. When you had good times with Rick, they were good times. He showed me many beautiful places in this country, that I will never forget and experience again. He is now at peace with family and friends.
