To Ricks family, I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know of his passing. He was certainly the greatest. Even though we were in the same business he was always so helpful to me.
Good bye my friend................

To Ricks Family: Sorry for the loss your family had. I wanted to share a funny story that had incredible odds. A long time ago Rick purchased a radio shack store up north in Warrensburg NY. decades later he and I went to have lunch with my co workers in Glens falls this past winter. While sitting at the table "YP" keep thinking she knew Rick from somewhere. When she learned he bought a radio shack location she said that was my dad that sold it to you! Rick said wait your little "YP" and everyone was like wow what a small world and what are the odds that like 3 decades later your sitting having lunch with the daughter of the gentlemen you bought the store from. It was just funny and cool at the same time. Your gonna be missed buddy. I hope you and your dad are now together playing cards, listening to classic rock and telling more jokes.
