Dear Trudy & family, My heartfelt condolences and prayers go up and out to you on your loss. Rick was a real one of a kind guy. I never would have pegged him as an accountant. His energy and ever present work ethic (he seemed to be constantly in motion) aMazed me. Did he ever sleep or slow down? His encyclopedic musical mind was full of so many facts and trivia about so many groups...rock, progressive rock, R&B and don't get me started on his tv knowledge. All to say he was an amazing man. I will miss his presence.

I am happy to have met you and your family and to call you friends. May The Lord give you peace and comfort, may he heal your hearts and minds, until your memories bring you only joy. - Much affection Tracey

Trudy and all of the Dashiell families, my condolences to you all. Rick was surely one of a kind. To call him my friend was an honor. He was Mr. Happy all the time and really loved his music. He'll be surely missed by the Prog community. Stay close to each other.
