Grew up with Rick and we had an on and off relationship and I haven't seen him in many years. However, I had to say something about Rick. We hung together throughout our youth into our early twenties and had many adventures and misadventures together. We both drove MGB's at one time and I hang out with him at the Fenstermaker's garage when he worked there. We camped at the lean to on the Appalachian trail and hung in his parent's basement. We discussed the times and everything under the sun. Drinking with him at the Wardell and The Steer. So many memories. May he rest in peace.

Janet...you are in my thoughts. My hope for you is that in the future you will only have good memories and feel blessed for what you had with Rick as opposed to being sad memories of what you lost. Your shared love of animals and sports was amazing. Love you GF.
