A sad loss for Reno car dealers and the LDS.
It is also sad that such an athlete died at such a young age.
Why?

Although I didn't know Rich personally, my condolences to his family for their loss. I remember seeing his name occasionally during his college and NFL playing days, and was happy that a Don was doing so well. I'm so sorry that Christmas has become a bittersweet day for his family. My prayers are with you today.

My condolences go out to his entire family! Alot has been said about Rick's football career and all of it is true! I was his team mate on the Amador track team for 3 years and he was an awesome and versatile performer that made a true difference in so many meets!

I was at the New York Jets game earlier tonight and couldnt help but think to myself Rick Kane played in this very stadium against both the NEW YORK GIANTS and NEW YORK JETS.

I never knew or met the man, only of his legend that will live forever in the annuls of Amador football. Rest in Peace.

I remember Rick from his days as a running back for San Jose State in the mid-seventies. He was a fine ball player and I followed his career through his pro years. It's with real sadness that I heard about his passing. My heart goes out to him and his family. Rest in Peace.
