What a shock! Only 65. I most recently saw Rick three years ago in Oakland when he was holding down the bass spot at one of the handful of Buffalo Springfield reunion shows. He also played in Pegi Young's band, here are her comments:

On Thursday, November 6th, I lost one of the dearest friends I had. An original Survivor, RTBP gave me love and encouragement and support as I progressed from a shy and timid singer and songwriter on our first record right through to the making of our last record, Lonely In A Crowed Room, which he loved and was very proud of. He was a brother to me as I was a sister to him. Knowing he was always there on stage at my right shoulder gave me great comfort and support. He was always there for me through thick and thin and never let me down.

His loss is a terrible shock to our band of Survivors, along with his many other dear friends and loved ones. So respected in the music community, he was truly an amazing bass player. I was incredibly lucky and honored to have him in my band and to count him among my friends.

As with our dear friend, Ben Keith, Rick too passed on the occasion of the full moon.

His loss is profound and we will always miss him. Our hearts go out to his long time partner, Elizabeth, and the rest of his family they suffer through this unexpected and unthinkable loss.

Sending you love and light as you travel to the other side Rick.

Love always.

Pegi

Too many bass players.

Sorry to hear, and a nice tribute to someone I'd heard.

I knew Rick, and he was one of the sweetest guys you'd ever want to meet.
As well a being a killer bass player.
Vaya con Dios, amigo...
