I´ve known Rick since I was 16 years old, so over 50 years. Our parents were friends in the car club over the years and we spent several happy vacations at The Skinner´s camp in Canada.
I will always remember Rick for his kind, loving heart.
My condolences to Charlie (Chuck) and all of Rick´s loved ones.
May you soar with eagles, Rick and rest in peace until I see your smiling face again.

Rick and I drove to Daytona Florida when we were 16 years old. Rick was one heck of a nice guy. Sorry to hear of your loss.
