When I was building my car last fall and winter I asked a lot of questions here on the forum and Rick responded to a number of them with helpful and thoughtful information. Rest in peace Rick...

Wow, that's a shocker! Rick and I talked on the phone a number of times about 289 stuff!
So sorry to hear this news! My condolences to his family and friends. We'll all miss you Rick!

I'm also saddened to hear of Ricks passing. He was certainly one of my favorites... and it won't be the same around here without him. Rick helped me out too and I'm proud to have a pair of valve covers he crafted as well as to have something to remember him by.
Goodbye and Godspeed to you buddy. I'm really going to miss you.

Rick was so proud of the valve covers that he built. I visited him a couple of times when he was putting them together and he was meticulous about the work in building them. Lots of work, but they gave him a lot of satisfaction. |

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rick and his family. I will miss Rick and his numerous caravans we participated in...
Hopefully, his son will carry on with the "289 Cobra" as Rick was gathering the pieces for a new engine. RIP gearhead friend!

That's real sad news. I didn't know Rick, but enjoyed reading his posts. He always seemed ready to help out.
I remember a touching post he made just a couple of months ago called "Good Friends and their lasting memories" about a close friend who died suddenly from a heart attack.
Sounds like Rick was the kind of guy who had a lot of good friends who will have lasting memories of him.
RIP Rick Parker.

I think when this thread has run it's course it should be packaged up and given to the family so they know what he meant to all of us.
That's up to JAMO and Computerworks if they think it's appropriate.

Had several PM conversations with Rick over the years, always interested in what I might be up to and keen to share/help with info. He definitely did a lot of research on what combo to put into the latest motor he was building. RIP friend.

This is very sad news indeed. Being relatively new to the NorCal Cobra group, I only had the privelege of talking with Rick on three or four occasions, but I certainly enjoyed his conversation and Cobra wisdom. Very sad to lose one of the good guys.
My condolences to his family.
