God and that we will one day meet with him again. I met Rick and knew him as a friend in our late teen and early adult years. I will remember Rick as a wonderful person. He was generous, loving, caring, funny and a good listener. It had been years since Rick
and I had spoken (at a high school reunion), but he will always be in my memory and in my heart.
