I have dreaded knowing that I would have to send this note sometime soon but with great sadness, the time has come.  After a 2 yr battle, Rick lost his courageous fight tonight.  Truly, there was no one else that I have ever met quite like him.  Watching Tami and Rick work together to fight this terrible fight has been an inspiration. But, I am as sure as I am about anything that he has found peace and grace.  I have no doubt that Rick's spirit is on some amazing adventure.

Plans to celebrate Rick's life are in the works and will be published shortly. But for now, please think about the fun memories that you have of Rick.  Each one of you, in your own unique way, meant a great deal to him-especially because you mean so much to all of Rick's family.  Your support of Tami, Brady and Casey during this difficult time has meant the world to them.

Updates on shiva will also be posted shortly.
