I was saddened to hear of Rick Cooley's passing.  I had the pleasure
of meeting Rick on the 2005 Bumbling Bruder Organ Tour.  Since we were
both traveling alone, we were paired up as room mates.  In those two
weeks, we swapped stories and had a great time.

A few years later my wife and I visited Rick and his lovely wife,
Betty.  Rick spent several hours entertaining us with the instruments
in his collection and extended the hospitality of his home for the
night.  Rick touched many in the mechanical music field and he will
be greatly missed.  My sincere condolences go to his family.
