We met at Smith-Walbridge Drum Major Camp in Syracuse, Indiana on Lake Wawasee in July 1979. Darin would turn 15 in September, and Rick would turn 16 in December.

Rick graduated from high school, and went on to complete his undergraduate degree at Northwestern University, and his graduate work at Chicago University.

April 10, 1990, Rick was the sole fatality in a car|semi accident on his return to Chicago from Muncie.

It’s been 35 years since you passed, and not a day passes that my thoughts don’t turn your way. Know you are still deeply missed and know you are still dearly loved…

Salute…
