Richard Edwin "Rick" Brown

To ryan and everyone, I'm sorry for what happened.

Bridgett, Shannon and Gina,
I'm so sorry to hear of your father's death so late. He was a great guy. I'll always remember his passion for photography. He came into my photo classes and did a wonderful presentation about stereo photography and its history. My thoughts are with you.

I remember counting the cars passing us on the highway below. The perennial pilots condition, always a head wind. Although I have not seen...

Rick was a wonderful father. Rick always wanted a son. I know this by heart because I was his son. I love you dad.

I was saddened to learn of Rick's death and hope that the following can provide some comfort to all his family and friends:

I didn't know of a...
