Rick,

After several weeks that I didn't hear from you, I went to look for you, and your neighbor told me the very tragic news. I almost fainted and started to cry right in front of him. I also cried on my way to tell our friend, the Chinese lady, what had happened to you. She also cried and was very sad.

Rick, you were a very hard-working man, and were by far the most generous and unselfish person I have ever known. You helped me alot and gave me many things because you knew I would appreciate them and take good care of them. Only I know how much you enjoyed picking up scrap metals and other things. You felt so happy and were always in good spirits driving around with your truck full of junk. You simply were proud to be a hard working junkman.

Now I realize why you never wanted to sell the copper and brass that I cleaned, separated, and kept safe for you at my house. You called it your gold, and for you, it was as good as gold, much better than money in the bank. Now that you are gone, I will keep it as a memorial to you, so when you look down from high up in heaven, you will see it and recognize it all, and it will shine back on you like real gold.

Rest in peace, my good friend.

Johnny - B.

I was so shocked to hear from  our Johnny about your passing away . Johnny cried a lot for what happened to you. People might think you just a junk man, but for Johnny and me, your are an hero for cleaning out the junk and taking care of our environment. You were  hardworking and  liked to help people. You  were not rich but very generous. You will be miss by us!
