Rick Mills passed away peacefully in his sleep April 18, 2014. He is the son of Richard D. Mills and Beverley Veninati. He is survived by his wife, Pam of 36 years, their son Cooper (19), and daughter Amanda (25). Rick grew up in La Crescenta, CA with two sisters, Karleen (Dennis) Cowan, Kim (Fred) Fleischmann, and is preceded in death by his brother, Ken Mills.
After graduating from Los Angeles Trade Technical College, he began a 40-year career in transmission repair. In his younger years Rick spent summers boating and waterskiing with friends, and later he travelled the U.S. with his family. Rick was a generous, loving, positive, husband, father, and friend. He quietly lived his life and led by example. He will be so very much missed by all who knew him.

Boyah!
I guess after 40 years of regular calls for "tech support" every time I had a trans problem to sort through, you figured you'd had enough and hung up the phone for good. JK.
Rick and I shared a lot of beers (before we both quit drinking), laughs, and stories over the years. But mostly, we were just close good friends. We stayed in regular contact with each other for 40 years. Such a kind, gentle, skilled man. I know he had a temper, but I can not recall a single instance when he ever raised his voice in my presence.
You will live on in the smiles of those that knew and loved you when they think of you, or in the laughs that will prevail when we're inclined to tell a story about an experience with you.
I miss you, boyee.
