Ricky Danielson Obituary
Ricky Eldon Danielson was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota February 27, 1952. He passed away July 24, 2013 at his home in Cottonwood, Arizona. Rick lived in Omaha, Nebraska for 26 years where he was a partner in Verne Simmonds Company. He later moved to Cottonwood in 2001 and worked for J&B Sales as a manufacturer's rep until he retired in 2011. Rick lived his life like he was on a pony ride; you never know where the pony is going to take you. Someone remarked "if you met Rick, you never forgot him - he loved his family, life and people". Rick is survived by his wife, Dorothy; his daughter, Sonya Danielson; his son, Eric Danielson; his sister, Lona Mahon, and his brothers, Jon Danielson and Todd Danielson; his brother and sister in laws, Laurie and Jim Clark, Edie and Mike Julik, Leo and Ann Rosenstein and his nieces and nephews.

When I joined J&B Sales Co some years ago as a new employee, I was grateful to Rick as I sought and he freely offered both his advice and his considerable skills to help me achieve successes. I enjoyed knowing him and will miss him. My sincere condolences to his family.
