Such a sad loss. Rick was very brave and courageous, I will never forget him and I will miss him very much. I took my first boat and motorcycle rides with him. My prayers are with all of the family and friends Rick has left behind. Love you cousin.

Rick and I enlisted in the Army under the "buddy plan", we were the only two sent to Vietnam upon graduation of aircraft mechanic school. Shortly after, and in country we were separated. I missed him greatly that year. Although we have had little communication in the years that followed. I will miss him now and regret not staying close. A good guy and friend when in better times, fond memories always! Rest well my brother, until our spirits again meet!
