Rick was a good, kind man. Lost touch over the years but would see him when I visited KW and always with his larger than life smile. I mostly remember what a great little league pitcher he was for our team with his side arm style pitching;). He will certainly be missed by many. My condolences to Rick’s family and prayers. Dave
