    So sorry for your loss

    I just thought this past week I hadn’t seen him here lately.

    Gone too soon

    When I saw this thread on the front page this afternoon I thought 'well this is it, the TW drama has finally chased Rick away.' Then I saw the post was not from Rick but from Mrs. Unchained....my heart dropped.
    As many of you know, Rick was probably one of the most generous guys on the forum, but it wasn't exclusive to TW. And his generosity was often infectious. I know that I had often given items to members in need because Rick inspired me.
    He is one of the many great people I have gotten to know in the years of being a member on this thread and then had the chance to become good friends with offline. Like Eammon posted above, I too will "treasure the memories I have of him" and I will miss the times that we don't get to hang out again.

    My deepest condolences to you and yours, Mrs. Unchained.

    RIP Brother Rick.

    I just remembered he was member of the year or some such a few years back. We loved ragging on him about it, but were all really happy for him.

    And @ERMB did that fantastic water color.

    What unexpected news to read here today. How amazing and strange this forum community is that we can all be so affected by the passing of a member we've never met in person, only interacted with online. Just another example of the ties we all feel to one another here.
    Condolences to all of Rick's family. He was a well-liked member of our community and will be missed greatly.

    What a fantastic idea. Please do this mods.

    I don’t know why but the news provided here has been tugging at my mind all day. The man just posted yesterday. Life is so fragile, make the most of it each day.

    I reached out to @ERMB on iG since he's not around here too much these days. Maybe he has a better pic of the finished painting
    just one big (sometimes dysfunctional) family here.
