I'm sorry to hear about Rick's passing last November/17. I got to know Rick when he lived across the street from me on River Road. Over the years we would get together on Saturday nights, and watch the games or play a dice game or just listen to his records. - Posted by: alan penner (good friend) on: May 31, 2018

My condolences. I only knew him through work but he was a super nice guy who helped me when I was new. Always asked how I was when we spoke and brought a smile with every interaction. He has been missed and I am sad to hear of his passing. - Posted by: Judith Stein (Co-worker) on: Nov 15, 2017
