Still miss you Rickie and think of you so often.

I just found out about Rick when I read the article in the Times about Temple of the Dog. Those of you who know me know how I felt about Rick. I will always love you Rick and extend my heartfelt sympathy to Raj and his parents. Farewell sweet one.

I moved away from seattle and just found out about Rick. So Sad. I met him when I was just a young 21 year old kid in 95, and Rick was very kind and friendly with me while everyone else in the "scene" at the time were overly concerned with their image and and whether or not they were becoming famous....and would all dismiss me like I didnt exist, but not rick, he didnt treat me like that because he never cared if people thought he was "cool" RIP you beautiful person!

Rick was one my favorite people. He was kind, intelligent. Walking through Seattle with Rick was walking with someone special; everyone loved him. His impact will remain. That cracked tooth smile will forever be in the minds of those that knew and loved him

Hello, I knew Rick back in the Band Playing days of the early 80's and want to express how sorry I am for his loss. Hi Raj and family take care.

To Ben and Santosh,
So saddened by this news. I lived in Seattle 43 years ago when I met you and remember you had 2 boys. The memories of my early settlement has always been a part of me.
My condolences and strength to your family. My prayers are with you all.

We love you Rick!
