Rick was a very dear friend of mine for many years. We shared such fun times together including tennis, which he loved to play. He will be sorley missed, but never forgotten and lives in my heart forever. For those classmates who remember, the "band" called "foochoo" - God bless Patricia, the love of his life and his family. Most sincerely, Dan and Mari Amstutz
