Sheri-- So sorry to hear of Rick's passing. He will be missed by all his friends at PBA, including June and I. We will never forget our memories of the European cruise and that photo of you with the Barbary apes on Gibralter. I really enjoyed the few times I played golf with Rick although he never complained about playing with a duffer like me. He left us too soon....Joe and June LaMantia
