Rick, you were always a dear friend at CMJH and CMHS. I remember your lovely home in the Broadmoor as I was a guest there many times. You are a legacy at the Cheyenne Mountain Schools!

Were friends from high school. Worked together in the 80's. Did allot of 4 wheeling together, and even spent some of our time together, in (Pig) on its side. Fireman friends. Had not seen Rick for a while, but he will be missed. One of a Kind. My Prayers.
