He was an extremely knowledgeable and skilled author and researcher in this field we all find enthralling.

I didn't know Rick on a personal level, although I have corresponded with him via email a few times in the past while he was alive. I remember hearing of his passing, from one of the researcher based mafia related Yahoo Groups I'm a member of. He will be missed. Speaking of his work, I've got a copy of "The Complete Public Enemy Almanac" that he wrote with William Helmer, it was published around 2007 and is a highly informative must have piece of literature.
