This is my Dad! Self-taught Jazz musician, playing his own compositions in restaurants etc. (Don´t think he was an artist,though).

I have the best memories of the young Rick when Art, Norma, Rick and Drue were together with Lou, Ann and Ed on various occasions. My heartfelt sympathy to the family and friends.
