I had the privilege of working with Rick for nearly twenty years. As others have stated, he was one of the hardest working, most dedicated people I’ve ever known. He set high standards for himself and he expected no less from others. Rick had a quick smile for everyone and dry sense of humor, but no one was exempt from his good-natured teasing. He was committed to his job, but most of all he was committed to his children. Rick’s passing is a great loss to all of us and will be missed, but he will be remembered for the good man that he was and all of the lives that he touched.
