Bon & Mary...
Sorry. I did not come back here yesterday.
Thank You both for stopping by and leaving comments. I don't know that I could have even come up with a happy memory of Rick yesterday. I was being flooded with all the bad ones. I can tell you a little about him though.
He loved his family. A lot. He loved his nieces and nephews and spent a lot of time with them. In fact his last day on earth was spent with my son and nephew, entertaining them at an arcade since it was MLK Day and they had no school. He loved hockey, reading, art, anything Japanese. He loved loved loved kitty cats. When he lived with us I used to get so mad at him for leaving the cats in the house all day and night. At that time the cats were outdoor kitties. They could come in to visit, but they had to go out at night. But he would fall asleep and they would find somewhere in the house to pee. Which was always my living room couch! He also took photography classes. The picture I posted yesterday was a self portait that he took. I think for his birthday I will upload some of his photographs. He had a great eye for art. He loved to draw. My nephew took one of Rick's cartoon drawings and had it put on his arm as a tattoo. He had to finish it though. It turned out to be a great tattoo! I should get a picture of that too. It's a skeleton with wild hair playing the drums. LOL! Sounds wierd, but it really is a great tattoo! Especially since my nephew plays the drums.
Thanks for asking about him :-)

Thanks Barb, for sharing. Rick sounded like a fun & loving soul.
I guess I was thinking about him especially yesterday because my Bro. Joe called and said they found a spot on his prostrate. He has been treated for prostrate cancer. He was told a few months ago that he was cancer free.Losing him would surely tear me up. He too is a fun loving guy. He is not happy unless he is helping someone in need. He works for Hospice in Ohio.
I would love to see more pics of Rick. I hope you don't mind that I think he was one sexy dude lol! I know, I am terrible, but I bet he is getting a chuckle out of it :)

Oh he would find that funny Mary! I will get some more pics of him and more that he took. We mostly have pictures that he took. We had a real hard time finding pictures of him that were full on face shots. Most are side shots and in the shadows or he has a hat on. The booger!
