I went to High School with Rick in Freeport, NY. I was saddened to recently find out thet he had passed. I hadn't been aware that he had become a police officer. Rick, you were one of a kind and I still tell one particular story where you cracked us all up in the classroom. God bless you and your family, and keep a lookout for the rest of your brothers and sisters in blue.
