I just got word from Rick's son, Brett, that he passed away just a few minutes ago. He was admitted to hospice after his health had continued to decline.
Right now, I don't have any other info for you, but I'll add more as I get details on arrangements.
Please pray for his family. They've had a rough go of it.

An anticipated occurrence but still saddening. Our small community here is again mourning the passing of an active and well thought of member. Condolences to his family and RIP Scooter.

His family could definitely use the prayers. Rick has kept me up to date on his grandson. Brayden (6 yrs old) was diagnosed with cancer about a year ago, but has been doing well and recently was told his tumor was stabilized.
Pray.
If prayer isn't in your belief system, then send positive energy in any shape you understand it. Thanks.
