    Ray and I are very saddened to hear about Rick's passing. He was best man at our wedding, and spent countless hours, and many great times with us before his move to Florida. Our kids became friends; Rick, and then Gary as well, spent Christmastime with our family. We loved his music, and often went to events or venues he and the band would be playing. Sadly for us, his move to Florida seemed to be a completely fresh start for him and we lost contact. We did not, however, lose our memories of the years we had with him and his children. It does makes us happy to know that he found a good life, and a life partner, in Florida.

    Remembering “Sing to Me” and how you wanted to put it to music…..There was so much more to say to you. Remember “ I Can’t Say I Love You enough, so this is your reminder”…I will love you forever.
