Richard Gross passed away in San Diego, California. The obituary was featured in San Diego Union-Tribune on November 15, 2016.
I met Rick 52 years ago. He was 18 and I was 15. He was my first love. He was quite a charmer back then and I have so many fond memories of him. They say you never forget your first love and I know that's true because I never forgot about
Rick. I've thought of him fondly over the years and I'm glad that he had such a good life doing all the things that made him happy. He'll always remain in my heart.

Rick was a great guy. We went to Horace Mann together. He was a good friend with a gentle sense of humor.

Rick was a wonderful person and one of my brother Rick's best friends. They went to Oak Park, Horace Mann & Crawford together. I know they are now up in Heaven together having great fun and keeping it lively!

If you were on his "team" you would have a friend for life. Once he returned home to San...

Hey My Friend,
Who would have ever thought I'd be trying to write a memory like this 64 years ago? We went thru a lot together and got into a lot of trouble together, but we always stayed best friends. From Cub Scouts to Oak Park to Horace Mann to Crawford to our first job at Palomar Mortgage Company. The Volkswagen race cars (so we thought). The fun we had at College Grove and then Mission Valley even tho we had to hitchhike there. The girls were all worth it. Then you show up out...
