Fun times at the Bennett Cottage with Rick & Anne when we were young.

I haven't seen Rick for many years--he was my first boyfriend, back in Weston in the mid 60s. I was a troubled teen, he was a kind and generous friend, and our ways parted, but he was an important friend at a very difficult time in my life. May he rest in peace, with lots of adventure and people contact wherever he is!

Sad to hear of Brother Rick Bennett's passing. We enjoyed many good times in the Kappa Sigma house at Southern Miss. Will never forget the good times with Jimmy Buffett and Rick when they lived behind the Mini Mart. Listen to "Peanut Butter Conspiracy" by Jimmy Buffett. RIP Rick. AEKDB.

So sad to hear of Rick's passing. I have fond memories of playing football against him in High School,then later as team mates with Invictus, and we had many great times around a piano after games.
Rest in Peace, Good Buddy.
