I witnessed many of the things you are writing about. The guy had an aura of kindness and non-judgment about him. This is a beautiful tribute, Adrian.

Great story AD, sorry for your loss. I've read a few of Rick's articles and always came away thinking this guy knows his stuff and how to write about it. R.I.P. Rick.

What an amazing piece and so sorry about Rick. He is and will remain one of my favorites. A no bullshit, "give me the fact" hockey guy, who I never doubted not once. I had no idea that you two were this close. I'm gonna pray for him and his family; it sure makes you reflect on todays Avs and hockey coverage, and your own mortality.
