Not sure what to say?

I heard a rumor that Rick is going to show up at the Easthampton (MA) Holiday Whobalation dressed as the Grinch. He then plans to travel to Florida (MA) to watch trains go through the Hoosic Tunnel.

I went to school with Rick's sister and remember the auction house in Rehoboth so well. This obituary and these comments are so amazing and really give me a sense of Rick's personality and impact!

I´m not sure he is Jewish but he just strode in for my Rabbi and gave a sermon on joyous living at my synagogue yesterday.

Rick showed up on Wednesday for his regular violin lesson. He had not practised at all.

Rick just popped in to get my famous batch of sausage balls! (I make them with 4oz of evaporated milk to keep them from being dried out). Usually I only make them for special occasions, but Rick always seems to know when I am cooking them up. He looks good and we had a couple of cold beers while catching up on gossip. I think he said that he was headed to the Outer Banks to survey the damage from the storm? Can't remember quite why he was going, but he did say he would be back to get...

Every time I turn around it looks like Rick featured as an extra in tv shows I´m watching. In Walking Dead it was at first hard to recognize him. The hat gave him away. That and the eyes. Daryl got him good! Later on a Below Deck, not sure which one, he was spotted dancing at a club the crew were at. Obvious to spot him because he was the only not making out with everybody else. Yeah, THAT Below Deck. Split second view but if you´re quick enough you will spot him close to Waldo. My...

We are fine, . Move the gold colored chair in the family room, there is something under the right rear corner.

I just had lunch with Rick in Alberta Canada! He looked great and we had a hearty tuna fish sandwich at the Tea House in Lake Louise after the 1-1/2 long hike up the slope. We both were just visiting the hotel for a couple of days and my wife didn't want to walk up the mountain with me. So I asked the man wearing the fedora, "hey, you wanna go and maybe see an elk or moose?" What a jolly good fellow he is and accompanied me to the Tea House. We didn't see any wildlife but he told me how...

I went to GW law school with Rick beginning in 1968. We were friends. He only lasted 1 year and then he quit. Law school wasn´t a good fit for him. Rick was laid back and more interested in his family business. He was very preppy and the first guy I knew who wore topsiders as street shoes. I visited him one summer´s day in front of his family´s business in Rehoboth Beach. There, he pulled out a jewelry case with 6 large matching rubies right on the boardwalk. I don´t think I´d ever seen...
