As close a friend as he was to you all, he was my whole world! Yet I feel like, in some way, you all knew him better than I did. He gave the 2nd best part of his life to trout fishing. He will be buried with full military honors at Springfield Veterans Cemetery Tuesday, May 31, at 1:00. Feel free to join us if you're in the area. Brad, Kevin and I plan to make a trip to Taney following the service to share him with the waters he loved fishing most. Sandy. Please contact me about any issues you're having with Rick's account here on the forum. 417-337-4130.

laker67 Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 Thank you to everyone who came out yesterday to help my family say goodbye one last time to Laker67. You all confirmed what I knew for 50 years--that Rick was one heck of a guy and one heck of a trout fisherman. We will miss him like crazy and I will continue to try to make him proud everyday! Until we meet again, sweetheart....Sandy trythisonemv, Johnsfolly, FishnDave and 10 others 13

May have raised the level at Bennett a couple inches in tears. It will get easier. nomolites, Harv, snagged in outlet 3 and 6 others 9
