RIP Rickster
I have the sad duty of informing you all of Rickster58's passing.
He will be very sadly missed by all of us here in the AFT family.
Please use this thread to post your personal messages of grief at his passing.
From all of us here Rick', you have left a large hole in our hearts.  Goodbye dear friend.
How do you tell if a politician is lying?
His lips or pen are moving.

Thank you for posting this very regretful news Techno.  

I'm a little taken back by this terrible news, and really not sure what to say.  

Rick has been with us for several years and we exchanged emails periodically over the years, and I'm sadden by this terrible news.   Rick being missed around here is truly an understatement.  

Sad news....

Terribly sad news. Rick has been a fixture here for many years, and he was such an asset that it's hard to imagine AFT without him contributing.

He will definitely be missed.  I was shocked to see the news this afternoon.  I am glad I had the honor to have "met" him.  And in every interaction I ever had with him I only ever received kindness & definitely a laugh here & there.  Very sad indeed.  Prayers for his family.

I'm very sorry to hear that. What happened? I had a few direct emails with Rick about masks, he seemed a genuine guy who was happy to share his knowledge. I don't think he was that old, which makes it even sadder. RIP.
Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts.

Totally stunned by this. It is a sad reminder of just how fragile life can be for any of us. A man admired and respected the world over. He was loved in his personal life through and through, just as here on AFT.

We never know when our time on this planet is over, sometimes it comes as a thief in the night.

Rickster is asleep in the grave awaiting the resurrection at the second coming of Jesus Christ in the clouds of Glory.

That is what RIP means rest (sleep) in peace.

Rickster is at peace. 

My prayers are with his family at this time of their loss of a loved one.


Jesus Christ died and was raised on the third day, the only "God" to overcome death.

Goodbye, Rickster. May God Bless you and keep you always.

I have read and respected the hard work this man has shared with all of us. His place will be missed.

Thank-you,Rick. Thank-you.

Thank you Rickster for all your hard work, your advice and though we never met, I feel I have lost a friend.  

My condolences to Rickster's wife and family.  I have known such loss in the past and know there is no way to console you or take away your pain.  My prayers go out for you and may The Goddess hold Rickster in her eternal love.  So mote it be, Amen.

Goodbye friend.
                         Bernard.
I like Ike
