A Tribute to Rick
My sister said that Rick was always the "NICEST," "SMARTEST" Guy in the room --- and he was.
The neighbors thought he was a "GEM" --- and he was.
His co-workers thought he was a great "TEACHER" -- and he was.
He had started out as a Ph.D working in academic medicine but ended up going into Inter-operative Monitoring --- which I think really suited his abilities at Hyper-Focus.
As an older Dad, Rick was always mindful that his time with Michael and Laura might be cut short --- and he worked hard to be a great Dad --- and he was.
We ended up traveling rougher terrain than we imagined --- although that often seems to be built into the experience of life.
Rick was the Love My Life.
What I loved about Rick was that he didn't give up even in the last days of his life.
