Rick I was reminiscing to myself of BSA days and found this through search. I'm one of the special people that got to know you, even if it was 40 years ago. This is the type of person you were, unforgettable. Our fun times at Indian Pond are still cherished. It's never to late to say a prayer. So I will, for you and your family.The only things we loved ones of you regret is that you always had a brighter smile and that you got to heaven before us.
