My kindest thoughts to the Farrell Family. Rick was a very kind hearted man who showed concern for everyone. I knew him during the years he attended FITNESS 1 Health Club where he was my client. He was a great father figure to many of us and a very loyal friend. Eternal peace be with you Dr. Farrell.
