The Tribute





As many of you know my cousin Rick died when I lived in L.A. It was a very difficult time for my family and myself. I know that his wife and sisters read my blog often and I have struggled to find a way to talk about him in this forum. He was awesome. He was a great friend, actor, mentor, father, cousin and a real Man. He was funny and enjoyed life, but what plagued the world was never lost on him nor did he ever down play people's pain. Emotions were real and accessible to him and he did not mind sharing. He adored his family, from his wife and sons to his very protective sisters as well as the plethora of extended family. He was a man of compassion and giving and it is only fitting that the cartoon attached to this blog pays a little bit of tribute to a wonderful man. We all miss and love him and many are working on picking up the broken pieces. I know however that he would want us to continue to live and remember his memory and not dwell on his passing. So this is for you 'Cus! I love you so very much and miss you everyday.

it's always rough for me to hear about someone who leaves so many behind, like a wife, kids, close cousins, etc. And judging by the picture he was still very young.

I'm sorry about that loss to you and your family but you're doing the right thing by honoring, remembering and allowing him to live on in your heart.
