Rick Kornacker

[Brian Spratt]

I learned via a Facebook post from Rick’s wife that he passed this past Thursday (1/15). I can’t say that I knew Rick well, but we did have some very enjoyable correspondence after connecting through this forum. He seemed a very decent man with a gentle spirit and a true passion for steel guitar. His contributions to the forum over the years have been memorable, and I’m thankful to have gotten to know him, even if only in a small measure.

So long Rick. Rick was a friend for 55 years. A good guy who helped in my (still fledgling)steel guitar journey. I'll miss you Rick. R.I.P. -JB

Hurts me to hear this. I have known Rick from way back when I first moved to Nashville. Always a super nice guy. My condolences go out to his family.

Oh my goodness, what a sad bit of news. I didn't know Rick personally but had a few conversations with him in the past. Very nice and helpful man. RIP Rick. My prayers for family and friends.

Saddened to hear of Rick Kornacker's passing.
Rick and I shared quite a bit of material / correspondence thru the years.
His instructional materials issued under the banner of "Stepping Stone Music" were really great Tab and audio packages.
