What a wonderful man! I was friends with Jan through high school and her parents always welcomed me to their house. Jan, I don't know if you will see this, but I was just thinking of you and tried to find you and your family. Unfortunately I was too late for your Dad; but may you rest in peace, Rick. Your friend, Marcy
