Read MoreRick was a gracious friend from the time we met shortly after 1986 after being introduced by Donna. Rick was very kind to me during a difficult time of my life. Rick´s kindness and free spirit were inspirational and left an everlasting impact on me. I´ll always be grateful to Rick for sharing his kindness and free spirit with me and others.

My father and I share warm and fond memories of Rick! I remember his big, gracious smile and his warm laugh. Rick brought such incredible energy to any room. Our memories go back to when we built our first home in Muirfield which just happened to be across the golf course from Rick´s home! We will miss you, Rick and we are thinking of your family and friends during this time. Rest easy, our friend! Warmly, The Goldman Family
