Rick and ...I've not been able to find out much. Rick and his wife Susan divorced in 1992, and she was awarded cuistody of their three children, taking them to a new home in Lake Forest. Apparently this was not a happy situation, as both were arrested that July after an argument between the couple turned violent. Despite this, Michael chose to spend time with his father, which resulted in police being called to the home on more than a dozen occasions 'for a variety of disputes, including fights between father and son.' Despite Michael's obvious and well-documented mental health issues, he was jailed for 24 years for the murder of his father, and his mother moved to a new commuinity in the North Shore area in the hope of starting a new life.Darryl W.

My cousin Mike has severe mental troubles. 20 years have passed since my uncle Rick was murdered, and he's still missed dearly. I find it mildly offensive how rude some of the comments about him are online. He was an incredible person.

I thought that former Australian Crawl singer James Reyne was hard to understand, but he is crystal clear compared to Rick!<br /><br />And then there are the arrangements - the bongo player must have been cheap to hire or desperate for a gig. That guitar playing on "New York, Now You're Alive" is all over the place.<br /><br />Rick did have some competition in 1978 - Gary!<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIL31YjT5VAGraham Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09182805428889776703noreply@blogger.com
