Rick

Last week was probably the toughest I’ve been through in a long time, if not ever. I want to write more shortly but have a lot more thoughts to process before I do and collate a bigger post.

I got to work on Monday and was greeted with the news that Rick had passed away over the weekend. I was, and still am, completely devastated by this and most of last week was a complete daze. A number of things stand out which made me smile though. The incredible messages of condolences, the friends and colleagues sharing ‘Rickisms’ and memories of working for him as well as this Hellman cartoon which eschews his normal acerbic wit for a touching tribute to Rick.

I also found this portrait on the server whilst doing some image research for other images of Rick. Such a great portrait which was shot by James Bolton.
