I have known Rick ever since 1st grade, and we always had a good time together. He lived down the road from me on 19th St in the trailer park. I used to go down there every chance I had to hang out with him. His Dad used to pick me up on Monday nights and the three of us would go to the Convention center in downtown Tulsa to watch the "Proffessional" wrestling. We had such a great time, Rick and I would laugh all the way home. His Dad had an old Chevy Impala, I think it was a 1959 or 60 model, red and white with the fins on the back and we took it everytime we went anywhere. I used to spend the night with him, his Mother had a Daushcaund named Schotzie and she was crazy about her. I was working either in California or overseas when I found out of Rick's passing and was saddened very much. He was always a true friend and we had lots of fun. He is buried a couple of plots down from my sister and across from my Father. When I go to visit my family I always stop in to say hello to Rick.

Rick was my first "boyfriend". He would ride his bike (the one with the small front wheel) to my house and try to sneak a kiss!Rest in peace my friend.
