I have not responded to this news because it has taken/is taking me some time to process it. I am so angry, and heart-broken, that PD has claimed yet another valiant fighter, perhaps one of the most valiant among us. He gave such hope and support to so many, selflessly.

I too never met Rick but so valued his posts. His sense of humour was a true gift and I always marveled at how he could see humour in things I could not....until he pointed it out He set such an example and for that I will always be grateful.

We all know there was a wonderful man behind the PD. My sincerest condolences to Wanda and her family.
