Davis/William, It was with great sadness that Russ Cape notified me of Rick's passing. Rick, Russ and I met about this time last year for lunch-the first time since Lt-Cdr. J.H. Lindford's funeral service. We reminisced, sharing a few "sea stories". I remember Rick as a quiet, confident UNTD Cadet Captain who displayed those leadership qualities that we expect to see in today's leaders. It is never easy to lose someone so close. I hope it gives you some comfort to know that others also grieve in the loss of this officer and a gentleman. With heartfelt condolences, Allan Zaleski, U-1766. - Posted by: Allan Zaleski (Fellow Sea Cadet/Officer Cadet) on: May 27, 2017
