What a lovely way to remember the anniversary of the loss of a friend.
I remember when we were in library school together he told me he went to campus to help pick up the detritus of an LSU football game. What a task!
Good memories always stay with us.

Dear Pincomb Family,
I was so sorry to learn of Rick´s passing. He was my Resident Advisor at Graham Hall at LSU in 1972. A calm, caring, friendly, and funny guy who was very helpful in guiding us through our sometimes confusing Freshman year- a tough job!
You all will be in our prayers at this sad time.

Ric was in the library science graduate program at LSU. He always impressed me with his gentle nature and, at the same time, his sharp wit. I will remember him fondly.
