I wondered what happened to Rick. He had an English car repair shop in Belmont on Old County Road. I bought a Jensen Healy he had in there and spent a lot of time there working on it. So sorry to hear of his passing. He was good artist and a nice guy.

Rick and I were best of friends and always hung around Terry Taylor's house with Bill Bradfield who he joined the Marines with in the buddy system. Rick was a very good artist, classy dresser and both of us owned Austin Healeys....his was black with red interior....We used to race anything down from Tahoe and had a contest to see how fast we could drive from San Carlos to Sebastopol where I lived at the time....I went on many road trip with Rick and his wife...including one in a Healey all the way to LA with Donna pregnant.....I'll sure miss him and his contageous laughter...He had a stroke that slurred his speach...but his humor was still intact...I worked with him at times in his English Repair Shop on an Astin Martin DB7 a doctor had in to fix a problem ...he loved cars....
