Rick and I worked together for 12 years at FCC in Fairbanks. He was great to work with and a very nice man. I'm very sorry to learn of his passing. The world has lost another good one. I hope Cheryl and family will be able to find some measure of comfort in fond memories of him and in knowing that his spirit will live on through the lives of all those who knew him and loved him. God bless - RIP.
