Holy S..., what a sad message and what a shocking loss.

Reading his lifestory fills me with admiration for this unique fellow.

We will miss him enormously on this forum. The last days I had already a sort of misgiving because nothing was done with these damned spamguys.

So my message to these mutants is : get the hell out of this forum.
You are making abuse of the death of the forum moderator.

Also my condolances to Mary and his children. A man as he will be will be missed by you on a cruel way.
Like it will hurt deeply this very special worldwide catsailor forum community. He created this unique group of catsailing addicts!

I'm very glad that Rick opened up this last year in this forum about his personal life.
He talked about his sorrows regarding the sickness of his wife. He also spoke very openly about his financial problems.
Longing his life was an issue for him. He told about that.


I have fear for the future of this forum without him.
