My husband and I met Rick at the CIA Auction. We were introduced to him by Pat Noe. We enjoyed visiting with him anytime he was at the auction. My husband and him shared a love of trains and had many other common interests. He talked so fondly of his granddaughter. We know he suffered at lot but now he is at peace and suffering no more. Our sympathy is with you and your family.Don and Kay Nunn

I've known Rick for 40 years, and I never seen him so excited as I did when he caught the violin bow Charlie Daniels threw to the crowd at Decatur Celebration. We had a lot of fun working the haunted houses. You rest in peace now my friend. Alvin Moore
