Rick was a friend, mentor, and father to me, and probably many others as well. He was always ready to help anyone in need, thinking of himself last. He looked for the best in everyone, and helped us to see it in ourselves. I promise to honor his legacy of good will, and to pay it forward. I love and miss you Rick.

I first met Rick in Madison when he started dating Terri and our friendship continued to this day. What better treat in life than to have an entire day playing with Rick. May those wide open spaces continue to grow on you. I miss you Buck. Randy Henderson
