Passing of Rick Smith (RicksGTO)
Very sad to pass on the news that Rick Smith (RicksGTO) passed away yesterday. This was quite a shock to me as I didn't even know he was ill. He was ~60 years old.
Rick was a super nice, helpful and knowledgeable guy as many know who have corresponded with him over his 20 years on this site. He had a thread on the 74-76 Firebird & TA TECH Forum on the ongoing resto of his '74 SD-455.
He was also a long-time member of the GTO Assn. of North Texas. It's been a tough year for our club as Rick is the third member to pass this year, following Larry Knebel and Bob Wyrick.
RIP, friend. He will be missed.
