    Man he was such a valued member of our community. I remember reading his posts back in 2016 when I picked up my truck. I will definitely miss seeing his posts and his value to this community. Glad his posts will be etched into this forum for all to learn for years to come. My heart goes out to you Ricks wife. Thanks for making us aware.

    I am SO SO sorry for your loss!
    I saw this and was like “Wait What!” He just messaged me on Thursday last week about some tire questions I had for him…. Holy Smokes I am SO sorry….

    Praying earnestly for your peace and comfort moving forward.

    OMG, I am so saddened to hear this news. I never met Rick in person, but the times we chatted on the site discussing truck mods or bikes, you can just tell he was a stand up, good human being. My condolences to his wife and family. By the impression he made on our forum, I can only imagine the impression he had on his close family and friends. RIP Rick.

    I would love to see how big the "Tacoma Train" will be at his service on Friday. Hopefully you locals can make a great presence. His wife specifically decided to mention this forum in his obituary, which I thought was awesome.

    In a happy coincidence, this guy popped up in my YouTube feed suggestions. I'm certain Rick must have watched it.

    So. Many. Stickers.
    Whoever wrote that deserves a beer. Here's helping the locals make a good showing. I know there will be a few of us at the Shamrock Shakedown in Tennessee raising a glass for him Friday night

    Hopefully the artist of the watercolor of his truck doesn't mind that the image is being used for his prayer cards.

    Dear Karen, Thank you for sharing. I'm sure, without a doubt, that you can use the artist's work for the prayer card. This really hits home for all of us, and we can't imagine how difficult this must be for you. We'll be sending prayers, especially at 6pm on Friday for Richard's service. Please take care, and know that you have another angel watching over you and your family. We all miss Richard very much. :pout:@Unchained 5150
