I am actually Rick’s aunt, but we were really more like siblings. Only 5 years separated us, so it always seemed he was the little brother I never had.
I remember helping him learn to read and teaching him how to play chess ( I think he was about 5 years old at the time...always a smart boy!).
I remember him driving the”Big Wheel” ‘round and ‘round the pool until he finally cut the corner too fast...and into the pool he went!
I remember he was very brave, but really upset because the Big Wheel floated ...and he did not!
We had some great “debates” about Georgia Tech vs UGA (my team). Rick...always the Yellow Jackets fan!
“Little Rick” grew up to be a beautiful, intelligent, witty, sarcastic (runs in the family...he got it honestly), strong, thoughtful, loving man.
I am sending all my love and prayers to his Mom (my sister Debbie) and his wife, Lori. You both (and my Mama of course) are the strongest women I know, and I love you all very much.
I love you “Little Rick”.
