I met Rick when I attended St. Thomas High School.
He became a great friend and we shared many fun
and great memories. He was always there for me whenever
I needed anything. He rode an Amtrack train all the way
to Virginia Beach just to help me drive home when I got out
of the Navy back in the 70's. I will miss him dearly. May God
bless his soul and may he rest in peace.
