It was a great honour to meet Rik, and to work for him on his wrestling promotions in the early 1970s. We became firm friends and regularly communicated, and met up for the occasional lunch. I had not heard from Rik for a couple of weeks by email, which was unusual. So, I sent him a text to ask if he was okay. He replied that he was in Hospital, following a fall, but would be home in a couple of days, I didn`t hear from him. I then received a text from Rik`s son to say that Rik had died. Rik was a great friend, and will be very much missed.
Rest in Peace my dear friend.
