Haven’t seen Space for a good decade but my memories are fresh and fond. What a beautiful person. He actually helped frame what I am today, Hopefully a person that cares ABOUT OTHERS AND likes to have a good time in accordance with TACOLAROTEF. The stars got brighter and more numerous as I thought of him tonight. I will miss him and keep him in my thoughts as I have for years. Wish I could rap with him one more time, but that will come…Miss Him, Love Him, Johnny Johnson (J.J.)
Dear Vicki,
You have our deepest sympathy in the loss of Rick. We remember him as a kind, caring person who loved to serve. We also remember that he took Ray down to John Hopkins for radiation treatment. May God comfort you and surround you with His love.
Love & Prayers

Vicky and family, Kirby & Donna Smith wish to convey our condolences to you. We know where Rick is, but the separation is painful now. We remember you from our membership class at TWC and we pray the comfort of the Holy Spirit surround you during this time. Cliff Martin told us about it when we saw him Saturday evening.
Always a drummer that traveled to his beat, we’ll miss his artistry and his …inner tube? I’m sure you’re looking down on us from that big never-ending TACO in the sky.-Ed B.
