Rick and I played Soccer at Morehead State for Dr. Sabie in the mid 70's. I can still see him smiling, moving down field, hair flying (with headband) on the attack. Good friend and teammate, Rick has left us all to soon.
Our prayers are with you all.

Rick was one of the good guys and we will remember him with kindness, love and respect. I served with him on the Morehead Youth Soccer League board and Rick was so dedicated to the sport, players and families. Rick will live on in his family and many friends.
