Following several days of seeking contact with or news about Rickamaven, I got a phone call today from one of his sons early this afternoon ... sadly, Rick passed away in February of this year ...

In what I am sure will be a sentiment shared with many others here, I must say that I will miss him profoundly ... despite extreme differences in political views, he and I shared many things in common and it is with great sadness that I relay this news ...

😞

Oh man. I had a feeling this was the reason his house was sold.

RIP Rick! You were one for the ages....

Well that sucks. He and Toby seemed really nice.

Rest in Peace, my brother. I had the good fortune of meeting him and Toby in Vegas, and sharing smokes with them at my house and at his.

Thanks, Steve.

He has been missed. So sorry to hear.

I had a bad feeling too..... RIP Rick... 🙏 🙏

RIP Rick. You were an interesting character and will be missed

RIP.

Damn it

Bet him and wheel are yucking it up

RIP Rick................poke Wheel for me.

RIP Mr. Maven.

RIP.

I'm sure you are right.

Here's hoping all your smokes are well aged and you are resting peacefully.

RIP RM

very sad indeed.

RIP
Wheel and Big Chief will settle him in just fine I bet.

He is and will continue to be missed. I'm sure heaven has a well cured coffee pot. I miss him and donutboy's battles

Yep...Chief and wheel will take care of him

RIP Mr. Rick. Don't think I ever had any exchanges with Rick but he had to be a good guy being a former USAF airman.
