Michelle, Pat, Dick and Family,



I have worked with Rick at Leviton for many years but it is within the last two years in which he was my supervisor, I was able to get to know him better. He was a very compassionate and kind person. He thought the world of his children and family. We would often have afternoon chat sessions with another co-worker. He loved to joke around but would also do anything to help out his co-workers. He will be deeply missed. May God replace the pain and sorrow you feel with only the happy memories of Rick.

Michelle, I am so sorry about your loss. Rick was a good friend and I feel as though a piece of our childhood is gone. I have this memory of you too young and totally infatuated with Rick and him feeling the same and just waiting for you to grow up for him. He left you the greatest gifts of all--your children. I pray for your family that you will find peace. Please know that I am only a phone call away. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

St. Denis Family,

My love and sympathy are with you during this difficult time. Although I didn't know Rick personally, I've known Pat long enough to know his love for his wife, kids and his entire family. His passing is sure to be mourned for some time to come. But his life is one to be celebrated. May your memories of the good times give you the strength to face the hard times ahead.

Dear Michelle & Family,

I am terribly sorry for your loss & for the children. Ricky and I were friends for all the years I was at Leviton. We went to lunch together on Friday's, he helped me with computer problems and we shared many stories of our lives over the years. He liked to joke with me and was always smiling. He was the sweetest guy. I am so sorry that God has taken him at such a young age. I wish that he could have given his special gifts of Love to you & his children. I know he will be watching over all of you & will be a guardian angel to all. He was always helping people and had a big heart. He will be missed.

I would like to express my deepest heart felt sorrow to Rick's family. I lost my sister to this same way about 3yrs ago and know what you are going through. I worked with Rick for may years at Leviton and can't say a bad word about him. What a guy. Always had a smile or a hand to help. He will be very missed. My prayers go to all of you. I left Leviton about 2 1/2 years ago but still have many frinds there that I miss and Rick was one along with his dad. Stay strong and God will help you through. Terri Hazard Leviton Data Processing
