Although I did not know Rick, I have had the chance to coach Dustin this wrestling season and know he must have been a special man indeed to have a son like that. The thoughts and prayers of the Milton Wrestling family are sent out to yours. It is not how far a man walks that is important, what matters is the tracks he leaves behind. May God comfort and keep you in this time of sorrow. Coach LeMaster
