Rest in peace, Rick

My friend's dad passed away yesterday. The man survived colon cancer and walked across America. At the end of his journey, the cancer came back. He had surgery to partially remove it and was contemplating life after colostomy.

After a month battling generalized post-surgery infection, he finally passed away yesterday at 8:50 PST. Rest in peace, Rick. I never met you but, knowing your son, you must have been a hell of a man.

Rick's adventures and the final battle can be followed here.
