Prayers, Thoughts, Whatever you do
Local musician Rick Novito is fighting for his life right now on life support and in a coma. Please pray for him. He is a close friend of my family. If Rick leaves us it will be a very sad day for the Seattle music community.
Please pass this on and post it on your blog, share it with as many people as you can.
Edited to add:
Rick has now opened his eyes. He is still on full life support but he upgraded enough that they could perform dialasis on him. He is responding to people by winking and at times a tear will roll down his face when you are talking to him. So there is progress!
i hope that rick continues to make progress. i am keeping him and his family and friends in my prayers.

I played bass with Ricky, starting in 1965... We were 11 and, by 15 he was one of the best guitarists in the northwest. Seeing him on life support broke my heart. I am sorry he is gone as he had a lot more music in him. JOE

I went to school with Rick. He was one of a kind, and truly an inspiration to everyone whose lives he touched. It was obvious in the outpouring of support for his family at his funeral. I'd say that there were about 500 people there. What a tragedy to lose such an awesome soul...too soon. My thoughts and prayers will continue for his family and closest friends. I will miss his huge smile and bear hugs whenever I had the pleasure to see him. Heaven has been immensely blessed with his presence.
