RICHARD "RICK" FRIEDLING

Better later than never, right? (I could have sworn I wrote something here as soon as I learned we'd lost Mr. Friedling.) If I had a dime for each moment, these past 9 years, that I've thought, "I've got to see what Rick thinks of this", the world would accuse me of hoarding its dimes. Only my dear friend Rick -- who I insisted on addressing as "Ubernebbish" (with only slight protest from him) -- would have printed business cards for his cat (Naomi Friedling, Feline American).

I will always light a candle for you.

Rick, you were the love of my life. I am forever changed by your life, and your death.

I treasure my memories of Rick, and we will miss his talents and his sense of humor.

I am shocked and saddened, made worse by the fact that I will be in San Francisco tomorrow night. Rick was my best friend for do many years, even after he went "quiet". We shared so much and his innate caring, gentleness and kindness were so wonderful. I was with him though much of his ups and downs until the past few years when I struggled to track him down. He was a rare talent a lovely person and it will take long time for my heart to heal.

Rick, great friend always able to help in an emergency, I'll never see a film noir movie or To Kill a Mockingbird without thinking of you. You are missed
