It's hard to believe it's been over a year since Rick passed. He is missed all of the time by his golf buddies, and Fantasy football family.
Rest in peace, Rick.

Rest in peace, Rick. My old coworker, and our Fantasy football Manager for 24 years. Our old golf partner, who made most of our Tee Times.
With deepest sympathy to Rick's family, Mya, and close friends. We're missing you already.
