So sorry to hear of Ricks passing. I met him as a teenager in Pennsylvania and was my nephews pal. He soon became mine as well. Way too many stories to tell about spending time in the turkey and deer woods of our beloved Pennsylvania with him. Yes... he was "crazy"...but always a "funny crazy". I didn't even hold it against him when I asked him about a particular young, gorgeous girl about his age (there was 13 years between us) that I was interested in and thought he might know her. he said, "Oh yeah I know her. Come to think of it she asked about you a few weeks ago! Luckily when I made contact with her she hadn't forgotten about me but thought I wasn't interested in her because it had ben a few weeks since she talked to Rick. Fast forward about 44 years and I'm still married to that beautiful girl1 Thanks Rick for "hooking me up" (almost not). Anyway I'll meet you at daybreak someday, up by the Twin White Oaks, and we'll chase that old long beard all over the hills again. P.S. Lynn says "hi" and thanks for conveying her message. LOL!!!
