He came to my mind today. I had no idea he had passed away. I am so sorry to hear this. My condolences to his family and loved ones.

I dated Rick back in the late 70’s. I remember him being an excellent golfer, a gentleman and the quiet guy in the room. A huge memory was riding on the back of his motorcycle to Lexington, KY for horse races. It rained all the way home!  Rest in Peace, Rick Tate. You were one of the good guys!

I’m so very sorry to hear he passed. I remember coming over with Net to see Mildred and Woodrow and Keith and Rick. Rick was such a very nice person and cousin.

I would call Ricky over the  years and  we would share memories of  working at the press and his dad’s store.  He will be missed at The mens Sunday School class.
