I worked with Rick at Playboy magazine for several years. He was one of the most creative people I ever met. We were also friends and kept in touch in spite of the fact that my wife and I had moved permanently to Mexico. We had so much fun working together, and later, even by telephone. I miss him to this day. I have a couple of photos of Rick and me from our Playboy days, but sadly they didn't scan well.

I worked closely with Rick at Playboy magazine for several years. He was one of the funniest people I've ever met and also one of the most creative.
After many years of effort I was finally able to find Rick and from then on, we had about two years of regular, long phone conversations, full of laughter and reminiscences. I talked with him last in August or early September.
I'm going to miss Rick very much.
