OB Rag

Rick Nadeau, best of friends, writer for the OB Rag, intellectual par excellence, passed on November 20th. Rick had been fighting cancer for the past two years, and finally took his last breath while in the arms of his love and wife, Diana, at their home in Sacramento. A Memorial service for Rick will be held on December 13th in Sacramento. His San Diego friends will be organizing a wake here in town. See the many comments made by friends and family, including memoria by his spouse, Diana Tumminia, and good friend, Gregg Robinson.
