He is gone, but he will never be
FORGOTTEN!
Eric and Virginia
There will be no formal services. However I am planning on following his wishes and making sure that some of his ashes go into a drag chute at the Bonneville speed trials this August. And that some are placed at the foot of the tree that bears his name at the Formosa raceway in Bakersfield this coming October. The rest will be scattered in the ocean which was his second love. Anyone wishing to make a donation to the N.H.R.A. Museum in his name, his third love, should feel free to do so.
Any cards should be sent in care of me, Micheal E Rickman at 4100 Camino Real St. Los Angeles, California 90065-3959 and I will see to it that the family shares in his honor.
Thank You!
