    I hope knowing how much he was appreciated gives you comfort. All anyone can really hope for is to have a positive impact on those around him.

    So sorry to hear. Although we only met two or three times, I always enjoyed chatting with him. Always willing to lend a hand or share some knowledge. Rest easy brother

    I also forgot that Rick was one of the many who reached out to me when my wife and I got into an accident in Massachusetts, on our honeymoon. He came to the hospital that we were in, but we couldn't go meet him because we were getting xrayed.

    Thoughts and prayers to the Swank family. :pray:

    Thank you for posting his obituary. It was a real punch in the throat to read. :annoyed:
    You never know how someone's day is going, so do not let your bad day be taken out on someone else.
    God forgive us of our sins, please make us the better person.
    Make us the somebody people would want to call a friend.
    Help us to become the person that is willing to help and is understanding. :pray:Amen

    I hope his kids end up keeping their vehicles as clean as their father Rick did...

    one thing I loved about that guy, never a dirty picture.... never...

    sure he reposted the same pictures of his truck a lot.... a lot a lot... but man did he have an affinity for polishing stuff up.

    I always appreciated him reaching out randomly just spitballing ideas about different parts and what not

    I am not sure I can make it up that far on Friday for the service, but I hope the NE TW people can give Rick the Tacoma precession he truly deserves

    Sorry for your loss; Don't know how in earth I'm just finding out about this now...

    I did not chat with Rick regularly, but I chat with him here on TW a few times (mainly about stereo systems in our Tacomas, and that awesome guitar of his); He was a very nice guy!
