    Hello to all, my good friend who is 193257 on the HAMB suffered a massive heart attack Monday AM.

    He has been on life support & last night the doctors decided he was strong enough for a 6hr operation this morning at 7am.

    You may know Rick drives a Black lowered 64 Riviera or his latest 32 highboy Black roadster

    Rick lives in St Peters (St Louis area) & has driven his Buick around the country and to the Round-up the last few years.

    Lets all take a second out of our busy day to think of Rick. He is a strong guy & will need all the strength to make it.

    Thanks Bob Perreault

    Keeping a good thought for him. I remember his '27 Tudor/sedan delivery from way back in the seventies.

    May God bless Rick and provide him the strength that he needs. I also remember his T Delivery. It was one of my favorite cars from the 70's.

    Hope he pulls through allright. I have known Rick for a lot of years and I never would have thought he would have a heart attack by the shape he was in.
