I need you guys!

Please keep one of the best friends I have had in a long time in your prayers/thoughts as he is fighting a losing battle with cancer. Some of you have heard me talk about him, and some of you have even met him, but most of all I don't think I would have started endevor if it weren't for me working in his CNC machine shop part-time, then that path blossoming into a shop of my own.

We love you, Rick Russell...

Man, that sucks!!! He looks like he was pretty young too... Although shit like that doesn't care HOW old or young you are.... My father was only 50 when he went. I've lived 4 more years than him.... They DO say "only the good die young"...
From the pics you've posted of him and his shop over the past couple of years I've developed a bit of an affinity for him... Before I got disabled I was in the machining trade and am still interested in modern machinary. In fact one of my apprenticeships was in Experimental Machining.. I thought it was cool that he built up his own shop/bussiness.....
Well, sorry to hear about this,,,,

I'm sorry about Rick. He looks like he was a really cool guy and a blast to hang out with. My thoughts and prayers are with you and his family.
