I met Rick when we were both 29 years old and I came from Ohio to work with Rick at HMSA on Project Loihi. We instantly hit it off as friends and Rick has always inspired me. I was very proud of Rick for following our Lord and using his gift for Jesus. That has also inspired me to use my gifts for HIM as well. I moved back to the mainland in the late 90s and have thought often of Rick. I am saddened by his smile leaving us, but I am so thrilled for him to be home. We are not far behind you, my friend.
