Rick, you're with Diane now.  Both gone too soon.  
Love,
Mare

Rick, we still can't believe you're gone.  Gone way too soon.  We had so many good times when you and Di would come visit us in Henderson.  The best times...
Love ya, 
Mare and John.

Rico, John and I are going to miss you and all the fun times we had when you and Di would visit us in Henderson.  You were our FUN brother-in-law, always cracking jokes and infecting us with your sick sense of humor.   You left a lot us with a lot of good memories, and we will always cherish them.   Love you, Rico.


What terrible loss of my best buddy . Rick and I would spend every Friday playing golf and working on our team challenges playing against the likes of Johnny R and Steve Ching.
The only real question was, “what kind of sandwich do you want”. Each Friday we would alternate on who would buy and then ingest these pre purchased  sandwiches on the 6th hole ,
Trying to minimize any losses, Rick and I would lick our wounds with a pitcher of Cools Lite
So many memories and now an empty cart.
May your journey include many birdies, I will miss you and our friendship

Sincerest condolences on Rick's passing. It was a joy to see/feel the passions he had for racing, surfing and music through his photos and postings. It was also a joy to see the warmth of his heart for his family, his animals, and those he knew in different parts of the globe. He was a true gentleman, and made the world a nicer place through his presence.

So sorry to learn of the sudden passing of this lovely man. Rick was beloved by his many friends and we will miss him terribly.  

Fly with the angels, Rick and may you catch some great waves in heaven.
