    Wow.

    He was a guy I interacted with a few times over the course of my tenure here on TW. I didn't know him well but he seemed like a really easygoing dude. His username was all over the forums as I constantly saw his posting on different threads.

    Coming from a person who just suffered a really close loss as well I am so sorry to hear about this news and I know that no words will bring you comfort. Take some time to process and grieve how you need to and remember that there is no right or wrong way to do so. May you and the rest of the Swank family take care. Godspeed to him and the rest of you.

    RIP Rick. This really caught me off guard this morning. you were a staple member of this community and were very kind to many. Many memories from that damn stubborn strut bolt at Drew’s house with Jared, to your contributions to the North East meet a few years ago. My condolences to your friends and family.

    Rick was definitely one of the good ones. He was a great guy and I enjoyed his company any time I had the pleasure to be around him. I'm sorry to hear that he's no longer with us but I will treasure the memories I have of him. Thank you. I'm sorry for your loss and will keep you and your family in my thoughts.

    Just spoke with his wife. I will be getting all the info together for the services when the time comes for people who are in the area. She has asked me to convey to everyone how much this community meant to him and I will be updating TW for her.
