I received a call just minutes ago from Cheri, Rick's wife, she told me that Rick had lost his battle to live this afternoon. Many of you that know Rick, also know that he has been fighting this battle to survive for 10 years. Of all things, a gallstone started this journey he has so valiantly fought for these many years.
Words escape me and nothing I can say will come anywhere close to doing justice to this man, Rick was my friend and hunting buddy, I will forever miss him.
Please pray for comfort for his family, arrangements will be made tomorrow and I will pass on that information as soon as I know it.
I wish I could pen words that would make sense but I can't, the tears make it hard to see.
