God, this is hard.
I spoke to him briefly last week on the phone. He was weak, and I knew.....I just knew...And now..
As well as sitting and picking with him, I would dearly have loved to have gone to a ballgame with Rick.
I share his love of baseball, and to have gone to a Blue Jays game with him, to sit in the stands with a couple of cold ones and a couple of hot dogs, and to discuss the game would have been one of the highlights of my life.
So when I'm at a game this summer, I'll have a couple in his honor and his memory.
Play ball, Rick.
