I was a friend of Rick's and had the pleasure of sailing with him. He was always so much fun to be with and how gracious he was in inviting many of my friends along for a delightful sail. The news of his passing saddens us all , he will be missed by many. Bobbie VanderMeer

Alan -- so sad to hear about Rick. He was a great guy and always had my best interest in his heart. I will always be grateful for both of you in my life. May the light of his life always be a beacon to you.

Hi Claudine and Allen we lived accross the Harbour from you and I always considered Rickey a friend and co-motorcycle rider. Believe it or not I am now a Pastor of a Baptist Church and a lot better person than when I was so mean to you as a teenager.
My Love and prayers go out to you.
Pete Vandeweghe formerly of Yaut Harbor Drive Singer Island
