Sorry for your loss rick

He is in a better place , R.I.P.

its never easy , our time is so short , for him it was a good day to die

Jeff brought up another buddy, Teddy Bravo, Owner of Muscle Boats. He was a good friend too. Got my quad there. Now my mom is on her way to Alabama, Uncle Frank is in the last stages of cancer, And doesn't have much left.
Seems like, when I was younger, all I did was go to weddings. Now that I'm older, all I seem to go to is funerals.
Guys, Take advantage of your life, and the time ytou have left, it goes by sooooo fast.

I will remeber that.

Rick,
My prayers go out to you and Kate and the families of the lost. I've been to 4 funerals in the past 3 weeks. It's not getting any easier. Again, remember the great time because thats all we have. Thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear.
I lost someone a while ago to cancer. It hurts still to this day. He raced powerboats back in the early 80's. When I looked on the forum of old powerboats it made me sad that he is not with me any more. God bless!

Our mortality is a tough subject for all of us.
Keep thinking of the good times you spent with your friends Rick.
Like you said, life is way too short.
