My thoughts and prayers go out to Rick’s family and friends.

Please feel free to share any of your fond memories of @ricko.

    Last post July 31st.

    Passed away August 1.

    A trooper to the end.

    Last active on the forum August 8.

    Maybe his family logged onto his PC.

    As @ChrisH821 posted on another thread:

    Since I had RickO's contact information from a previous interaction I did a little digging.

    It brings me great pain and I am sorry to say that it looks like we have lost RickO.

    My first memory of @ricko was how nice he was and how he usually ended his posts with the word Cheers!

    Honestly thought he was Canadian 😂🤣.

    Never had the pleasure of meeting him but I feel like a lost a great friend. 😣😥

    I will miss him dearly. He was one of the good ones.....😎

    We'll miss you Rick. This forum will never be the same. I was always so impressed how you stood your ground on what you believed in. Your constant presence on these boards will be truly missed.

    I would have loved to have read your 100,000th post.

    Condolences to your family. Rest in peace RickO.
