Trudy, I'm so sorry for your loss of Rick. We knew each other from an early age dating back to our days of Pee Wee and Little League baseball and of course from our years at Huntington High. I hadn't seen Rick for a while but always considered him a good friend.

So sorry to hear about Rick...condolences to all. I Met Rick through baseball where he coached in LL for another team and then I played for him in Babe Ruth. So knowledgeable and passionate about the game. He was a baseball man through & through. We also became friends and always enjoyed seeing him and getting updates on Trudy and the girls, who he loved dearly. I owe him much for keeping me In Baseball and know others will miss him dearly.
