I met Rick at Spring Training here in Peoria, Az more than 10 years ago. I enjoyed taking pictures of him, as he was such a ham! He became a very good friend and I looked forward to every Spring. It will not be the same next Spring without him here and hearing his familiar "Incoming" as he prepares for his famous peanut throw. He will be here in spirit with all his fans and he will never be forgotten. He was such a sweet and caring man and made everyone feel special. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, Candi, friends and fans as they go through these difficult times. God bless them and Rick until we meet again. R.I.P. Sweet Peanut Man!
