What a loss, not only to his family but to our community.
Rick was one of the tech gurus on this forum. I have asked many questions and it was my experience that if Rick posted an answer, you could take it to the bank b/c it was always right on!
My condolences to his family and friends, including those here on Club Cobra who had interactions with him. His presence will be sorely missed by those of us left to carry on.
Cheers to Rick for all the good he did!

This is very sad news. He and I had been discussing exhaust fabrication. He has been very helpful and I will miss his posts and his help.

This was a real shock and I will miss him very much. He came up here with his Cobra to go for a drive with me and see some of the country and we talked almost weekly. Just a couple of weeks ago he was asking me to help him with his computer. His knowledge and workmanship will be greatly missed by all of us.

@Rick:
Many thanks for the help and the great information you did share on this forum.
I was always looking on the threads for your avatar with the red cobra as I was 100% sure this information will be of great value.
There are a lot of nice guys up there, at the eternal race track, waiting for you with open arms.
RIP
Sincerest condolences to Rick’s family and friends.

I am very sad to hear about Rick, I imagine it is a very great loss to his friends and family and my thoughts are with them.
Whenever I saw that Rick had posted on the forum I knew it would be worth reading, he was very generous with his vast knowledge and I feel privileged to have been able to share it

I'm still having trouble with this. Rick and his son both are customers of mine and I spent a lot of time on the phone, PM, and email helping Rick with his new SBF engine build.
Just really hard for me to accept seeing someone's post on one day, then the next day they're gone.
My condolences to his family.

Very, very sorry to hear Rick's gone - had to be a major shock to his family.

Rest in peace says it all.
A quick, but sad, ending for a cobra friend that knew no strangers.

Rick Parker
Rick Parker was my husband of 41 years. He loved the Club Cobra Website and would be thrilled to know that he was being remembered in such glowing terms.
All the kind comments will be cherished memories for me. Thank you so much.

Kathy,
So sorry for your loss. I think I can speak for most, if not all of the members here that if you need anything during these trying times, just let us know. He will be missed by all of us.
God Bless.

I had no idea that Rick had any health issues, this is very sad and shocking.

God Speed Rick
Say hello to the late Frank Dominianni, another very special person who always helped fellow gearheads.

Here are a couple photos from our annual New Year's Day drive that Rick participated in since it's inception. He will be missed.

I never met him in person, but he sent me a PM just a couple weeks ago and we had a short conversation about the 302 Mexican block and small block engines in general.
He told me he had a pending project similar to an engine I'm building at the moment.
Very nice and knowledgeable guy who truly knew no strangers! May he rest in peace.

Thanks Maurice...
The smiling guy with the Cobra t-shirt. Rick had owned his slabside for over twenty years and it was pretty cool.

I am in shock, this is not what I wanted to hear. I had email chats with Rick several times over the years trading stories of the old days. He and I both grew up in Fresno although we went to different high schools. RIP old buddy.
