Richard Spring

Sorry to hear about Ric passing, he was a friend from Westgate Bucket Pub. He will be missed by many Bonnie Sevierville, TN

Rick and I were in the band "Easy Money" together. It was a successful road, and local band. Rick and I were friends, and went on our separate tracks with no animosity towards each other. He was also a good band guy and musician. Richard Lipsey

Played guitar many hours with Ric man, he was a great person.

We enjoyed Ric's guitar playing with his bands over the years. He was quite a conversationalist at parties and social gatherings. He always displayed a great deal of enthusiasm with any activity he engaged in. He was a good friend. We will miss him.

man that guy could play a mean guitar. loved watching and listening to him play. he was a funny dude. enjoyed his company. rip ric man

Ric Man was certainly one of a kind. His love for the guitar brought out his true spirit, a free spirit. Rest in peace Ric Man.

Ricman was a good-hearted man who had a love of music that shined to the people around him. I was lucky enough to be one of those people and humbled to share a stage a few times with him. To watch him "smokin' a**" (as he'd say) on the guitar was to be engulfed in the radiant passion he had for spreading the joy of music. Thank you Ricman, I know you're smokin' a** up there in heaven.

Met Ric at Westgate bowling alley playing with Debbie street and the avenue band and became long time friends he was an amazing musician and a cool and groovy guy he will be greatly missed love always BambiRIP

Ric was my best friend in the early 60's when his family moved to Buth Dr. We played from morning until late afternoon, making forts in our woods & in barns (getting yelled at by cousin Martin) , watching him learn to play the guitar or bringing in the cows to the barn on my Aunt's farm for evening milking. We were rewarded with a bottle of Masons Root beer. Our moms weren't the happiest with us as we smelled like cow poop & at times wore it. RIP my friend. Love you.
