Sad to hear of Rick passing. He was a law school classmate. Didn't realize he was a Richard Petty fan! I am sure he will be missed by all and I pass along my condolences as a Campbell lawyer.

I am so very sorry about Rick. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met. I know you´re going to miss him terribly. I still miss your Dad. I just wanted you to know that I am thinking and praying for you and the children and grands. Always Linda
