Moparts has suffered a tremendous loss .

Sometimes you meet people through the web and expectation as to their character is in question. And sometimes you can tell they are of a quality of heart without even a face to face. I had the incredible pleasure to have met Rick (MrNormsTA) on Moparts and face to face and instantly knew he was a special man. His passion for cars was only surpassed by his passion for being a quality human being. He welcomed friendship with all who he touched and will be missed by many. RIP Rick Wescott. I will win my next race for you and your love for the automobile. God speed my friend.

WOW
I considered Rick a very good friend
i spent many hours at Carlisle talking to him
he was one of my must stops to see every year.
this year was the first that i only talked to him
for a few minutes
now i have regrets,i didn't make it back to him.
this hurts..

rip buddy

RIP fellow Mopar friend....

RIP

I didn't want to say anything until I had more information as when it was appropriate - I found last night the Rick was no longer with us. I can't tell you in words the loss that I've felt since. I've had no real sleep and I'm trying not to keep from tearing up. Its unreal then in a flash its real then its unreal and it all starts again.

Rick was a mopar guy through and through and would give the shirt off his back. He helped me with several cars and the last one was a Mach 1 I got a year ago. (he had one before he got into mopars). I needed cash to secure it and only could get out a max 9k from the bank my one and only shot was Rick. I told him that I needed another 9k to make this deal and had only 2 hrs to give the seller an answer. What did Rick say? Sure and when can we get pick up the car? He was my go to person.

I miss him already and loved him always,

People talk about their dogs/cats they have lost. I've lost a great friend that I can never get back. I'm so bereaved and bereft.

This world is a lesser place without him.

RIP

Ah damnit. That's terrible. RIP good sir.

Dang that's bad news. RIP

Awful loss at such a young age

any idea on arrangements etc>?

Gone too soon.

Dang...I had talked to Rick a bunch of times over the years too..

He saved a Hemi Charger from a driveway death sentence in Rochester NY. I'll never forget the story of how much water came out from under the vinyl top. RIP friend

This is awful news. I knew Rick from both Moparts and Carlisle, what a good guy. RIP Rick

I was just informed last night of this by his close friend here Dave C.
Really saddening news.
Rick was a great guy and I always enjoyed chatting with him at Carlisle.
I will miss seeing him
RIP Rick

I'm at a loss for words. RIP Rick

This is truly sad news.
Rick was a great guy. Went out of his way to help me out more than once. My thoughts go out to his friends and family.

Very sad news , I got a text last night about this and I was floored. I haven't seen Rick in a couple of years but he was a great guy that would do anything for you. I met him thhru the board but my first face to face was at Carlisle a number of years ago, I needed a room and he was gracious enough to split his room with me , didn't know me except thru the board.

You will be missed my friend, RIP.

prayers for his Family through this difficult time.
Matt

I hope his family is taking it well.

RIP Buddy... I am at a loss for words...
Well put Eric... Rick was as genuine of a guy as you can get. His heart was always in the right place. I can assure you heaven gained another angel.

Jeff

RIP

Very sad news, Rick was a great guy that touched a lot of lives in positive ways.

He will be missed.

I too met Rick through the board and saw him at Carlisle many times, RIP my friend...

Godspeed.

Godspeed Rick. Safe travels.

So sorry to hear. Its been awhile but I've also talked to him in the past years. May God bless.

That was well said Eric.

Rick was one of the good guys, a great friend and someone I am having a really tough time trying to say goodbye to.

Rest Easy Richard.

Dave

Wow...Too young...

This is terrible news. Rick was one of the good guys, for sure. We hadn't seen each other for a couple years, but still exchanged barbs about each other's (old man) hockey play. I will miss him dearly. Prayers for Tina and his family. RIP buddy!!

RIP

I just came across this post and I'm stunned to hear about the passing of Rick. Sometime back I helped to arrange for him the purchase of a local A12 car that I knew of that had been hidden away for many years.

I am very sad to hear of Rick's passing. Dealt with him a few times over the years. He sold a Bahama yellow A12 road runner to my brother, he helped me load my B5 A12 super bee when I bought it and recently I sold him Wally Booth's 69 Super Bee. Always a nice and easy guy to deal with. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

I never met him, but sounds like he was a great guy RIP

wow..sorry to hear this.condolences to the family

I too didn't know him but he does sound like a great person, R.I.P.
Ron

Besides being a Mopar and A12 guy he was quite an avid fisherman and golfer....loved the great outdoors, hockey and rock and roll. He had plenty of friends from all walks of life.....

Glad to have known you Rick, lots of laughs that I will always remember. RIP

Scott

Sorry to hear this.I sold Rick a B5 A12 Super Bee, he was truly a gentleman to deal with. Prayers go out his family and friends and may God Bless.

Rick was a great guy Rip my friend

I have never meet him but it sounds like he was a great guy.

RIP

Carsten

Terrible news, sad to hear. Argh.
R.I.P. Rick. Too soon.

There are some tremendous people out there, when you find the special ones to you I hope you all see it.

GOD BLESS

I had the pleasure of speaking with Guy (Ricks brother) at the wake and told him about the support Rick has received on Moparts. He texted me this message:

Hi Jeff. This is Guy, Rick's brother. I just went through the forum thread. It was amazing to read all the wonderful comments. Rick truly had so many friends from so many of his passions - Mopar, fishing, hockey, golf, etc.

Please comment on the thread that you heard from me and how much it meant to me to see all the Mopar love.

Guy

I just saw this post and I'm shocked! Great guy who will be truly missed. Rest
In Peace my friend.

JP

Sounds like the kind of guy that truly embodied "Service before Self" and actually would "Walk the Talk".

I don't think I ever chatted with him here, but it sounds like he was a dynamic individual and will be missed by many. My best regards to his family and friends. He left us far too early.

RIP Rick.

Such a shame, one of the nicest persons on the board. Wish I could have met him in person, probably would have been a real hoot to hang with. We will miss him, he was a true gentleman.

I'll be damn. RIP, Rick. Wow
