Rick was a good friend and fellow classmate. We shared many classes such drafting and gym. Rick, Joe and myself (Marty) hung out together and we referred to ourselves as the the 3 amigo's. Often as adults we would grab a burger at a sports bar or take in a movie or other adventure. Rick always had good common sense advice and he will be greatly missed.
