We are so sorry to hear Rick passed. He was very special to us. Duane and Rick were best friends for a very long time. We have so many special memories of him including having the honor of being in his and Kathy’s wedding party, playing in a band with him back in the day, and many special times we spent together. Our condolences to his family. We loved both Rick and Kathy. ❤️
