My condolences to Rick’s family, especially Patty, also a good friend. Rick was one of my best friends, even a roommate in Conneaut on Furnace Rd. We had many good times together, including bike rides around Conneaut and over into Pennsylvania. I know he will be sorely missed by all his friends and family. Dreamer, as he called me.
