Goodbye Unchained 5150 (RIP Rick)

If you want to come with us to the services, I'll buy

 

I actually just found a thread I started when I first got here and Rick answered about the best deal. If it wasn't for Rick, I probably would have never found HotShot Offroad or knew they were so close to me. Thanks again Rick!

 

Damn, just came across this. Rick was an outstanding member of this forum, and I can only imagine how incredible of a human being he was to his family, friends and community. I always appreciated his willingness to help educate others with his vast knowledge and experience. As inactive as I’ve been on this forum, I found myself logging in from time to time and seeing messages from Rick, wishing me a happy birthday. That just speaks to his character and how he took time out of his day to reach out to others. He had such a positive impact on so many people and I hope he knew this.

Thank you Rick for our pleasant interactions throughout the years. My condolences to the family, sending healing energy your way.

 

Saddened by his passing. A true gentleman who touched many, on and off this forum. My condolences to his family.
RIP in peace, my brother.

 

Since I first heard about Rick's passing, I have had a few songs stuck in my head. I debated back and forth with myself if I should post them.

Well, Tuesday night, I had the pleasure of attending the opening show at Boston's newest venue Roadrunner. The band just happens to be the same one that sings one of the songs stuck in my head. So while at the show, a few beverages in, I again thought about posting the songs.

Well, the encore added a song to the list and verified that I should in fact share these tunes. Fair warned, they may cause some folks to be emotional.

From Tuesday night.

After my father passed, the first time I heard this next one was a very emotional time, but I found it very healing

When he started singing, everyone was silenced, it was like nothing I had ever felt before.

And the last one, I am surprised hasn't been posted yet, This one is for Rick

I am sure that many folks will be thinking of Rick and his family Today as the family and friends attend the services today. Sending support and prayers to the family, Rick was a great human.

 

Thanks for posting these,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and if your goal was to make listen through misty eyes, you succeeded.

 

wasn't my goal, but I knew it would happen.

 

Here is his card. Here at the services.

 

RIP Rick.


They had the parking lot attendants block off a spot for our trucks to be right in a row.

 

Thank you for sharing this. I just switched my shop soundtrack to Van Halen for Mr. Rick.

 

It took so long to get over from the north shore, did I miss everyone?

 

Awesome, thanks for the pics, @crashngiggles I'm not crying, you're crying.

Been thinking about you guys and Rick's family all day.

 

Damn just came across this. Shared many PMs with Rick in the past.
He was just a great person. RIP brother.

From left to right, @DoubleRGirl , @JeffB , @AllTacosFloat , @Boston10Taco , @Johnny balls , @crashngiggles , and @mach1man001 . @CttAznRanger showed up about 10 minutes after this and it looks like we just misses you. We went to a restaurant to toast to Rick at 430pm and then myself and @CttAznRanger came back for the services.
