R.I.P. Rick Meadows, "Stoliman/Deke"
« on: October 09, 2013, 12:51:38 AM »
Thomas "Rick" Richard Meadows passed away Friday night October 4, he was a great friend in game and had the pleasure of meeting and going to the Houston air show with him. He helped me along when i first signed up for Aces High, I had no idea what i was doing and was a lawn dart most of the time. He managed to keep the game fun for me while i was learning. He was always a pleasure to talked to and good for some laughs when I flew with him and the Prowlers. Even after i parted ways with the squad we would fly together and converse even when flying against him. Could always count on a hello and Salute if he was on, haven't meet a nicer person in game or in person.

I was and am still in shock to think my friend is no longer here, but no doubt in a better place. Safe travels my friend!

Don't remember meeting him in the game, but from couple posts on here I remember him as an honest about/to himself kind of guy. I respect that.
