Not sure what to say?

I have known Rick for most of my life, We were in the class of '60 and played baseball and basketball for the Lebanon Warriors. I lived in Aloha Oregon and I would see Rick occasionally at his pharmacy. I was fortunate to visit with Rick at our last class reunion. I consider him my friend. My condolences to his family.
