One of the greatest Hockey players in the game and part of the "French Connection" that dominated the game of hockey in the 70's. Rick was a close friend to me. I knew him since 1980. A kind and gentle soul that was a friend to everyone ... I came back from a business trip just to find this out ... my heart is broken

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord. And may Your Perpetual Light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
Amen.

Thanks Rick for being a great friend, thanks for helping out the autistic kids when I use to always bug you for autographs. Thanks for making me laugh. For your crazy stories on the road. For the computer work you steered to me .. Thanks bro for all the memories

Love ya
Dan

If you ever met him, you would know what a smile the guy could bring to your face ... four seconds later you would be laughing .. If he wasn't so great in hockey he could have been a stand up for sure ... heart breaking to say the least. I will miss my friend

Didn't know much about him except what I saw on the ice on TV. Sounds like a great guy. RIP.

...But he WAS great in hockey, a tough, very classy player. Nice to know he was as good a man off the ice. We'll spare a kind thought.
