Ric Laciak left many behind. Some said their good byes and others still feel the
sting of his parting. Ric was many things and gave a ton to his family, friends,
and those in the music world. Above all others the one that will feel his
departure the deepest is his companion that was with him through the light days
and the days that lingered with a pain that bored into Ric's core. This one
companion was Jack. For those that knew Ric, they heard tales of Jack and knew
that this feline was in many ways one of the two deepest loves that Ric always
had. No matter what days he had, no matter what level the pain was...Jack was
there with unconditional love that never faded.
The other love we all know was
RAS
DVA Records, the child from Ric's creativity that was there for the
world. Jack was the one that was there only for Ric. After more than a decade of
pain, Ric leaves behind one that feels his loss with a scope that few could
fathom. They say that animals can't feel, tell that to Jack. The days since
Ric's passing have been with a void for this companion that lives onward until
the eventual day when he will join Ric across that veil.
To give you an idea of the impact that Jack had in Ric's life, below are videos
made by Ric of the exploits of Jack. In the videos you will see that Jack was
involved with Ric's involvement in music. In this sense, the tributes that were
made for Ric, RAS DVA, and Ric's family are also a tribute to Ric's one true
companion and love in life, Jack. After the videos are links to the 4 volumes
dedicated to Ric by
Digital Recovery and all the musicians that
were touched by Ric's involvement in their lives.
