Rick,

Hated to see this. It seems to be a more common thing at my age among my aging friends So I won't say goodby, I'll just say See You Down The Road.
God Speed Rick!

Rick, I am touched that you made the effort to let us know how you are and what the prognosis is. I can only assume that you are at home and surrounded by loved ones. Please know that you will be missed.

Via con dios, hombre. Goodbye and God speed, John

Well Rick, thats a tough sort of goodbye for you, and for us all keyboard warriors.

From the bottom of the world,(New Zealand) thanks for being part of our forum family. My prayer would be that you get some good time with family and friends, and that as you go to meet your maker, that you are at peace.

Rick, this is the same as Lisa's dad's decision last year. She left for Wisconsin and stayed with him and her mother the whole time.


It's tough to come up with words, but I guess I can say Godspeed and hope to see ya where the hot rods are!

We're here, wishing we were there with ya. You're not alone.

 

[Mike]

Rick, I'm going to miss you, my friend. We've talked a couple of times about some of this, but I just kept hoping and praying you would be around a lot longer. Apparently God has plans for you that simply will not wait as long as I had hoped.

Blue skies and smooth roads to you. "If I don't see you no more in this world, I'll meet you in the next one..."

 

[Youngster]

Rick, This is hard for me having lost someone very dear to me recently. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You will truely be missed. It's hard to find words at a time like this. Don't fear the other side, it's a wonderfull place. We'll meet there somewhere down the road.

[Francis Blake]

Rick we will all feel an empty place here, you have always been ready with an answer to anyone's question and have been a good friend to everyone here. You will truly be missed.

 

[409T]

It's difficult to find the words, this forum will be missing a good friend. Our prayers to you and your family from me and mine.

Jeff

 

[BLUEGRASST]

May the grace of your God be with you and your family. On the other hand, your next T Bucket will be made in Heaven.
