I was deeply saddened to hear of Rick’s passing. I have known Rick for more than 25 years and I considered him one of the finest people I know. My usual routine, at least once a week, was to get my mail, then stop by the shop to see Rick. Always met by a smile and some new story or an intersting gun he was able to acquire. We would spend fifteen minutes or so catching up, and telling stories. I will miss Rick terribly. My most sincere prayers and thoughts to Jana and Courtney. He was one of the good people, the world sorely lacks.
All my respect,
Mike

Jana and Courtney, words cannot express how deeply saddened we are for you both. Rick was a kind and upstanding man. I will always remember how generous he was to our girls and what a close friend he was to Scott. I know that he walks with the Lord now and hope and pray that gives you comfort and peace. For we know that this is not goodbye but instead it is see you later. Scott, the girls and I will continue to keep you in our prayers.
