Rick was a great guy. I worked with him @ Chesterfield. He would bring me those little carmel candies with the white filling and hide them on my desk. His saying to me was "see ya wouldn't wanna be ya". He was a very nice guy and will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

May God give Rick's family the strength they need at this difficult time. It was an honor to serve with Rick on a Search Committee during his time at St. David's. Peace be with you Rick!!
