Rick was a kind and loving man. I have so many fond memories of him while we were growing up. I am so glad that we had the chance to reconnect on Facebook as adults. I just regret that we never got the chance to reconnect in person as adults. I want to extend my deepest condolences to his husband Stephen and the rest of his family. My heart just breaks for you. He will be truly missed. RIP
