Maj. Rick Finkelstein CAWG

[Flying Pig]

I learned today that my good friend Maj Rick Finkelstein passed away last night.  Many people here knew Rick.  In addition to Rick being the backbone of the unit I commanded, Rick and I were personal friends.  Rick and his wife Jill were occasional members here on CAPTalk as well.  Although he did to post much he routinely lurked here.  I know many members here knew Rick. 
Rick was a retired school teacher who took a sincere interest in kids who just needed a break in life but he was far from being a push over for just any sad story.
Most recently Rick was the commander of Sq 112 in Fresno CA, and recently stepped into a group position.  He will be missed. A good friend, and a man who always put others before himself even at his own inconvenience.   

Take care bud.
