Dear Patti and children:
As the wife of a Phi Tau, I know you had one of the best. Sounds like he lived an authentic life and left a wonderful legacy. My husband often referred to your husband as the other Phi Tau from New Jersey and he remembers you coming to W&M to visit!
May peace come to your heart.

I just found out today (from ACS Surgery News) that Ric died nearly three months ago. I had seen him not long before, but did not realize that he was ill, and he made no mention of any problems. Typical of Ric to minimize himself--he was one of the kindest, most dedicated, honest and humble men that I have ever known. I know that God blessed him, and my prayers go to his family.

Saddened to learn of Rick's passing. Rick was one of the rare individuals who was able to achieve both success and happiness. I have fond memories of our time together in Charleston, and during times when a friend was hard to find, Rick was my friend.
