Heard from someone in the Chicago area this morning that Rick B has passed.

Thoughts and prayers to his family.

FrankD.: WOW,

A great guy, met him about 5 or 6 years ago when he made a Spa trip and had a few private chats with him over the years about my Chicago days.

RIP Rick B. and my condolences to his family.

If I had an Old Style I\'d raise a glass to you Rick.

God Bless,

Frank D.

Tavasco: Oh No, How disappointing. R.I.P. Rick B.

TGJB: That\'s terrible news.

Fairmount1: Brevity was key to Rick B.

Thoughts to his family.  How old was Rick? (approximately?)

drbillym: Very sad.  I met Rick at one of the TG seminars a few years ago.  He always said what he meant; he could take it and give it out.  I frequently harassed him about his banner about how easy it is to win a contest using TG-it was always in fun.  We had discussed meeting again this year-bummed.

FrankD.: Fair,

Not sure exactly but late 50\'s. I tried looking for his obituary without luck.
