I enjoyed watching sports with Rick for many years at a West Hollywood pub. We were both actors and loved watching sports, so the conversations were easy. So many will miss him--he was always respectful and nice to people. I appreciate your kindness, Rick! Cheers, my friend! My condolences to his family.

Such a strong resemblance to Mum and Nana. I'm grateful that I had a chance to meet Ricky, if only for a day. I sensed his potential. To Virginia, Rick Sr., Dave, and Andrew I hope your combined strength sustains you through this terrible ordeal.
