I've known Rick for at least 60 years. Our Dads were friends, we knew the family from many years of East Hampton Little League. Rick's parents were the best as well as his brothers and Sister. I'm sorry for to see this so long after he passed. I hope your memories will help you during this time of loss.

It was always a good time and a lot of laughs to play golf with Rick. And he was great to deal with at work at Standard-Knapp too. He will always be remembered with a smile. Gone too soon.

Yolanda, our arms are around you and our hearts will be with you as well. We treasure the ski and boat times - and of course the golf. For sure there´s premier courses in heaven
