I met Rick a few years ago, when he, Kathy and 6 neighbors in Puyallup improved their street with 7 rain gardens. He worked so hard on that project, and was so upbeat, he made the hard work fun. I am so sorry, Kathy, that you lost your best friend.

Rick was my boss for many years but best, and most important of all he was my friend. We worked together at General Metals of Tacoma/Schnitzer Steel where he was Plant Manager before going to Seattle Iron and Metals. He was a great person to work for and with and he treated everyone with respect. I will miss him and his infectious laughter and smile. Until we meet again. Lyle Harry

Kathy and family,
we will not forget Ricks wonderful sense of humor and the fact he was always smiling and laughing when with his "brothers and sisters" at the Puyallup Eagles club. He will be very much missed! We send you our heartfelt condolences.

Rick was always smiling and ready for a good conversation! I still remember going to your house late because we thought the party was there (it was next door). You were both so welcoming anyway! Rest in peace Rick - and Kathy may your good memories help you through this difficult time.

Kathy, you and the family will be in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. Hopefully you can draw strength from all the pictures and memories you have of your life together. Rick was an awesome guy and a real class act. Thanks for the memories we have from Ken and Alice's and for getting us hooked on rib steaks! Sherry and Neil Tombleson
