Frederick W. Turner

My two most favorite things: Sheetflow & Rick's invention of the Spork. Gone too soon by dear friend. Gone too soon.

Missing you every day my dear friend. Especially when I see a bottle of Horseradish and a lonely Spork. No one will ever fill the hole in my heart.

I went looking for news about Ricky after just reading that the Methodist church where his Dad ministered in Dryden closed. Ricky and I were friends when we were kids around 1960. He was a bundle of energy then, and from reading about his life, sounds like he stayed that way. RIP Ricky.

Rick was a great friend. I still think about him.

We knew Rick though we counted our friendship deeply with parents, Rev. Fred and Evelyn. As a brother United Methodist pastor, now in my 60th yr ordination I was inspired by Fred, and then Rick who was an apple core did not falling far from the tree. They were both voices faithfully crying in the wilderness about peace, mercy, and justice, be it Racial, Class, Gender, Economic and Environmental. They fought the good fight. Pastor Don Hoff

Still missing my good friend, Rick.

Rick and I traveled cross-country summer of 1973. We had gales of fun and crazy adventures, met all kinds of hitchhiking characters we would offer rides to in that '67 VW Bus with my dog, Bert. Quite the threesome. Sorry to say Rick and I did not keep up later in adult life for too many years, not because of anything other than life sometimes brings us together and sends us on different paths. I saw Rick a few times before he headed north to Ithaca. Same wonderful and caring guy with...

I knew Rick professionally and as a friend for almost 30 years. He was a unique individual, very intellectual, very morally grounded. He always asked about my daughter, a public interest lawyer who reminded him of his roots. He was a big fan of Malcolm X. He picked his heroes, like his friends, and stood fiercly by them. He'll be missed.
