I didn't interact with him (lurkers unite!), but his posts, especially in the mental health community thread, were always insightful. RIP.
I was best friends with Rick in High School 9th and 10th and 11th grade mostly. We hung out every lunch along with two other best friends we had. It was me, Shain, JJ, Rick, and... Robert (We didn't really like Robert lol). I don't remember how exactly we started to hang out, I just remember me and him we're really into films, music and videogames. Hideo Kojima was our god. Our favorite movie at the time was Lost In Translation. We fucking fell in love with that movie. Almost everyday after school, Rick would walk me home. Yes, walk me home. My house was about a 25- 30 minute walk from school. He didn't have to, the bus he needed to take to Torrance was next to the school, but he would just take the stop next to my house. I always enjoyed those walks, we would just talk, and talk about everything film, games, and music.
Around the beginning of 11th grade, my parents decided to moves us out to Palmdale. Palmdale is about 2 hours away from San Pedro. It was the most depressing shit ever. We linked up one time after moving to Palmdale. I came to San Pedro, and me and him went to go watch Anger Management. I remember we both liked it despite the bad reviews it got. That was the last time I actually was with Rick. After that we kept in touch via FB, Instagram, and Steam. We never acknowledged each other on here or gaf. But even through social media, we never fully kept in touch. Just the occasional birthdays, or gaming news shares he would tag me in. We only ever played online once, and that was when Portal 2 was released.
I feel like a piece of shit for never taking the time out of my life, to ask if he was ok. Now it's too fucking late. Seriously man, If you know someone going through some shit, reach out to them. I will never ever be silent again when someone I know is desperately asking for help. Rick thank you for those wonderful memories I have of you in High School. It seems like through the years you made many more friends than what you had in HS, and lots of people really loved you.
Rest In Peace brother.

Fuck. Used to play a bunch of TF2 with him.
True to his name, he was a classy guy. Thanks for the games. You'll be missed.

I knew him from the F1 community and Le Mans threads on Gaf. An intelligent, well articulated and passionate fellow.
RIP Ricardo.
RIP Ricardo.
Sorry to hear that, awful news. I recall enjoying his posts.
Reading this thread reminds me how much I get out of the good posters here. Thank you to all the really intelligent people who put time into communicating their point of view. It is so meaningful. Listening to people with different life experiences really does change us all for the better.

Never interacted with him on a personal level, but I do remember seeing and enjoying his posts
Terrible loss for his loved ones and this community :(

Damn. So sorry to hear this.
Really respect his stance on communication of science and dispelling health/diet myths. Always did a good job of shedding light on subjects.
I also read the mental health thread sometimes (even though I don't post). Some of his posts have been really helpful to me.

This is extremely sad news. I liked Classy and I regret not checking in with him after the GAF implosion. RIP.
I personally argued EL down from the original perm. EL held a grudge. The second perm we couldn't convince him to reverse so instead we just approved his alt account immediately (skipped the normal moderation queue). EL to my knowledge never noticed but the rest of the staff were broadly on good terms with him.

Sometimes you wonder about how strange this all is. If life was a road, everyone on this site is just people who have stopped at a diner or cafe along the way to chat for a bit. I might never know who any of you really are, but to some on this site, that never mattered. They were friends all the same and my thoughts go out to them and the family in this time of need.
Rest in peace.
Rest in peace.
I had no idea about this and it's really a sad way to start the day. I greatly enjoyed his banter over the old FakeGAF, even if I believe I had to ban his ass a few times. I hope his family is ok.
