You Rick and I were in touch via Facebook a couple of years before he died. It was great to reconnect with Rick. He was so happy to be moving up to the State of Washington. He and his wife had bought a gorgeous house that looked very similar to a Frank Lloyd Wright house. Very beautiful. My husband and I had planned on going up and stopping in on our trip to Northern Idaho. Unfortunately time ran out. They were not in in Washington long before he passed. I will always regret not getting this opportunity. You are missed Rick and may you always Rest In Peace. Your friend forever.
