Rick was a great friend, and a good guy to hang out with after the races.
Rest In Peace you will be missed.

Rick was a great friend.Joe Donahue Jr,Rick and me had a lot of good times over the years throwing some beers down and talking about the old days of racing at O'Neills Sports Bar.I'm going to miss those great times.I'm real glad that he got back into working on race cars again..He kept telling me he wanted to ge back on a pit crew.Thanks to modified and spotsmen drivers Nick Rochinski and Frank Yankowski they made his wish come true.You're going to be missed by all of us at O'Neills Sports Bar and at 5 Point Speedway in the stands and pits.You'll always have a special place in our hearts.
GODSPEED AND RIP RICK.

He was a great guy and seemed to always be in a good mood with a smile on his face. I never heard anyone say a bad word about him. His friendship meant a lot to me and I will miss him. Rick and his dad were my two sons Kirkwood Little League managers. Recently, as Ron said we did a lot of racing on mahogany ridge. I will remember those good times and that infectious laugh he had.
Rest in peace Racer.
