Spoke to Rick many times over the last 20 plus years but only ever met him once. A thoroughly genuine nice guy, always a pleasure to deal with. From conversations with Tim learned the extent of his illness and the fact that it was a matter of time. That period of time passed far too quickly and truly a sad loss. Deepest sympathies to his family and I know he will be sorely missed by Tim and the many others that were fortunate enough to have known him.
R.I.P Rick.
