James Milligan wrote a sympathy message

“Rick was a friend the first day we met back in 1960. It was his enthusiastic sense of humor that first attracted me, but I was deeply affected and influenced by the bond of friendship that was developed between us. It was always a treat of meeting up with him at reunion gatherings and other events of personal interest. I have so much more to say. I will always have a place in my heart for Rick and the memories that we created through our lives. Rest in peace now my dear friend. James Milligan”
