I have read Ricks obituary, but it’s hard to believe. Rick was such a genuine and fantastic person. I first meet Rick when everyone that I knew had muscle cars. I really got to know him when we formed the Cracker Jacks. He was always the voice of reason. I will miss my friend from the past. He was such a great person.
