My thoughts and prayers are with the Beck family, his mom Catherine "Sadie" his Brother and sister Lary and Vicky, and the entire extended family. I often wondered what Rick did after his college years, and I see it was the same as back here at home. And that was, to fight for independence not only for him but for many others here and wherever he lived. However, I know that he came back here to be with his family.
I was a young kid in a new school out of my home district (Horseheads) when I entered Booth school as a mainstreamed 2nd grader. Every time I saw him he would say hi and talk a bit. Even then he looked after others who needed it. as I got older I too got to go to camp star and he and others I knew then from Booth were there with others like us from all over several counties. Those were some of the best memories of my younger life. Later we would see each other at Rotary functions or whatever, or chat on FB. a GOOD WORD or guidance when either of us needed it from the other.
Rick is missed but not forgotten and he is always loved, Rest in peace my friend, till we see each other again.
