When I look back at the 33 years of a great friendship, now that’s it’s gone so suddenly, I grasp for the proper words to honor his past. Above all his true generosity stands out high above others. Whether it in dinners, gifts, trinkets or dry roasters, coffee makers or stock information, it was from his heart. His skills with his hands, made him one of the best Orthodontist around. He treated my family (all five) which resulted in perfect results. I enjoyed all of the dinners, lunches that he brought together, in the last minute or from the day before. We talked multiple times during the week or once a month but I always felt his presence, his quick wit, sense of humor would result in deep laughter where you start to cough because it was so funny. He was a great fisherman. We went to Cabo and up to Gods lake in Manitoba CA. He would make sure that the Indian guide would have a new set of fishing boots, for the following season. We never did make it back. His hip and heart began to fail so that he could go back to those days. I could go on and on about shooting guns and arrows, and the Thunder Fest on the Detroit River. It’s time for me to say goodbye. Rick I love you like a brother, and some day I will join you in Heaven. You pal for ever Rich
