It's with great sadness that have to announce the passing of a good friend and our EasyList author, Rick752. Rick had suffered a stroke on St Patrick' Day, and I was just informed that Rick had passed away last evening. During this short period, while hospitalized, Rick had his family very close by his side. There was some able communication and awareness between Rick and his family before his passing and although given this short period to "prepare" for the inevitable, this news (as with any of this type) is still quite shocking and difficult to accept.

I have a lot of good, and most of all FUN & FUNNY memories of Rick and I will truly miss his gift of gab and wide array of knowledge about a variety of subjects. I have already spoken to Wladimir Palant who assures us that the EasyList will live on and be maintained regularly. The funny thing is Wladimir sent that message to me yesterday morning; which if I know Rick it's almost like he was waiting for that assurance! He was very proud of and dedicated to this project and most of all I know he enjoyed the communication, contributions and friendships he has made with others while he was able to assemble and maintain the EasyList.

Rick, R.I.P., buddy. You will truly be missed!

Thank you, Rick, for everything you did for us. Although I didn't know you personally, it's still a strange feeling that you won't be here any more. With EasyList you managed that I won't forget you as long as I'm here in this forum and using ABP. Rest in Peace.

Damn! I was really hoping he was going to be ok. This is very sad news! I also wish the best for his family and friends. I didn't know him in person either, but I will miss him greatly. One of the best people I have met online!! Thanks Rick for being so kind to me and for all the work you did to make things better for so many. You will be missed my friend!!

I haven't been around here in quite a while and was saddened to hear of this. Rick was a great person who aided millions of people and will be sorely missed.

That's sad to hear about this. I never thought it would happen like that. Rick and others helped me a lot to optimize my filters list.
Hope he may rest in peace...
