  1. I went many times to see him at the the old home place on Walnut Street back in the mid 1970’s. Those were chaotic years as teenagers trying to grow up. I’ll always be grateful that in those crazy and difficult times I had a real and genuine friend in Rick Jividen. My heartfelt condolences to the family
