Dear Rick,

My heart broke when I read that you have passed.. Janice and I have been praying for you since we heard you were battling cancer. I know you fought it with all of your might .. I am so happy we met this past January for lunch .. and was so hopeful that the surgery would be successful..

I have fond memories spending time with you back in the 80’s ..our carefree days, eating cheap chicken plates at Moc Moc in Gardena, practicing music to lead worship for our Evergreen small group .. remember the time we lip-synced to “Funkytown” and did a cheesy dance at Mount Hermon? We had a mutual love for music , cars, God, and a wicked sense of humor! We’d often laugh so hard we’d be in tears! Thank you for designing the CD cover and poster to my band, N’fusion. You are a man of many talents! Always so techy, laughing at how non techy I was…

Thanks for coming out to many of my gigs and for keeping in touch thru the years . Even when you and Linda moved to Seattle, we could still pick up where we left off , whenever you were in town.

I thank God for your life and for bringing us together. It was an honor to have you in my wedding party, and honored to be in yours as well. Some of our best days of our lives.

I will miss our chats, the laughter , but will always cherish the good memories we had together. I know God had a plan for you .. and took you out of pain. So long for now. Look forward to seeing you one day in heaven so we can continue where we left off.

Love you brother!
