Patsy, Rick, Chris and Melanie, what a shock to hear of Rick's passing. We had shared a lot of miles on the motorcycle with Rick, even in the cold weather of winter going to the diner (Country Girl) in Chester for coffee to warm up and head back to Springfield. Enjoyed being neighbors in Flamstead Acres for 23 years as well as your kids growing up with our Jim. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
