What a great guy. One my buddies. Loved him and glad to know he is in the presence of God as I type this. He died several years ago after 2 bouts of bladder cancer in a 13 year period.
Rick's funeral is the 2nd largest I have ever attended. Martha Allen's was the largest. Both were standing room only in large churches and both on workdays. Said volumes about them both.
Rented a room for several months from Rick's parents after graduation. We used to make Hamburger Helper at his house for our future wives (His-Debbie Pyle from Marshall; mine-Teresa Priest from Tyler) and they married us anyway!!!!!!HA!
Out of nowhere, Rick used to just bust out loud and sing "Here comes the BIG BRASS BA-A-A-A-A-N-N-N-D!!!!!!". He's listening to the real big brass band now.
Love you Rick. Will come listen to that band with you someday.
