One of my favorite memories with Uncle Rick goes back to when I was a kid. I was being silly and blurted out, "Are you crazy?!... because I´M CRAZY!" From that moment on, it became our inside joke. We´d often call each other "crazy" over the years, and it always made us laugh and brought me back to that playful moment from my childhood. It´s something small, but it was ours-and I´ll always treasure it. He will be deeply missed by many family and friends.
