It is after midnight on May 5th, I cannot sleep. I am thinking about my friend Rick Myers. Reflecting on what an incredible person he was and how I will miss him.
I met Rick through Ashley, she and I met at UNLV and became fast friends. She soon introduced us. From then on Rick and I hit it off. I have never been much of a foodie, meat and potatos were my mainstay. Rick was a food adventuer,willing to try almost anything. Whenever I was with Rick, either at his house or out somewhere he would always push me to try something different...I now, because of him, can enjoy sushi and something from pigs, not ham. Rick was always there to talk to, whether it was to console, encourage, bust my chops, or just joke around, he was there. Ricks opinion or advice was always valued and almost always spot on...there was this time he thought I should get involved in the Bigfoot community. We enjoyed guns together and whenever we could we would go to the range, or have long discussions about firearms.
He told me many times how much he truly loved Ashley and how very lucky he was to have her as his wife and best friend.
I can say fair 'seas and trailing winds-, I will see you again, cout on it. Until then know that I was proud to call you my friend, a very small group.
I love you buddy
Jack
