Not sure what to say?

Rest in peace Rick. You were one of my heroes growing up. You were at the QB camp I went to in Charlotte back in the early 70’s. I remember how hard you could sling that football.

So many memories of Rick, but one was his love of movies. In the Eagles locker room, he was always talking about a movie he had just seen and often he would act out whole scenes. Rick knew every line in Dirty Harry and he did a pretty good imitation of Clint Eastwood. So it is no surprise to me that his granddaughters Elle and Dakota became Hollywood stars. While Rick is remembered as a talented athlete, he clearly had some acting ability as well. I'm sure it was handed down. He was a great...

I have many fond memories of times with Rick-rest in peace my friend

I was a newspaper reporter covering the Philadelphia Eagles when Rick joined the team in 1970. He was a rookie quarterback, I was a rookie reporter so we had that in common. Rick was a great guy. He always had a smile on his face. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. Ray Didinger Philadelphia, Pa.

Was so sad to hear this sad news ! Just now found this post ! My condolences to Rick's family and friends ! He was a true character and loved by so many ! He will surely be missed ! Much Love ! Hope

So sorry to hear about Rick´s passing. I gave him racquetball lessons many years ago - He hated he couldn´t beat me !

Rick was a terrific guy. I went to Myers Park with him and participated in Young Life with him. We raced against each other in Gym. He and I were always neck and neck at the finish. Rick was a delightful person and I'm sorry I missed out on his lifetime after high school. Rest in Peace good friend.

When I heard of Rick´s passing it seemed unreal...the Rick I knew was so full of life & his personality would make you feel like you had known him forever! Hearing of his passing felt like my youth had died. I met Rick in 1960 at Jackson Homes. We were 13 yrs. From that time on into freshman yr in college we dated. Later in life, my husband & I became friends with Rick & Mary Jane and met his children. His family was special to him .... He loved his girls and loved coaching them. I had not...

I am honored you called me your friend. You will be missed. I am pretty sure you are playing golf and having a good cigar. Like you always used to say "we´re in good shape". Rest in peace my friend. My sincere condolences and prayers for Rick´s family. Rick always talked about how proud he is of his family.
