Not sure what to say?

We started out from OSU together joining Peter and Terry in Wilmington, De. We were young and ready to see the world and experience all it had to offer. Rick was a creative genius and his designs live on as a testament of his gift. His eye delighted in new solutions to design problems. I am happy he was able to visit most of the world in his short life. My thoughts and prayers go out to his Mother, Linda, Debbie, Elizabeth and Em.
