Rick was an absolutely great guy. I met him a couple times in Missouri (he was the first member I met at my first MO Crappie camp) and he came down with Dale for a visit here in Florida.

Here's a pic Speckanator took when we all met up together on the water.


That's Rick at far right.

Here's a better pic of Rick.

We will miss you Rick. Rest in peace my friend.
