Just coming across Ricks obituary these many years later. Rick had the dorm room next to my room during my Freshman year at Illinois in 1982/1983. Thinking about the fun times hanging out with Rick bring a smile to my face and a chuckle to my heart. The dude was one of the nicest big old Teddy Bears I ever met. Condolences to his family, just wanted you to know this "next door dormmate" of his thinks the world of Rick and will never forget him.

Years later I heard the news,Rick was the reason I have my AZ. experience.I was invited into his home to meet the family as a friend from out of town,not sure how often that happened,but I felt very welcome. It was a great opportunity and I wish my stay would've been longer.Being young and not thinking everything through I made the decision to go back home to build my career.I asked Rick how could I pay you back for such an experience, he simply said "just help someone else " for years that...

Rick, thank you. Rick was good to me as I became a friend to him and his family as I was going through school. I will always have fond memories of the time that he spent with me and that I was able to spend with his family. Jessica, A.J. and Jordyn you are often in my thoughts.
