My deepest apologies for being unable to attended the services today. I worked with Rick for many years at Standard. He was indeed a fine man with a quick wit and a sharp mind.I do not recall a programing problem he could not solve. I will always remember his love of and skill for tennis and I can only imagine what a wonderful grandfather he was.
My deepest condolences on your loss.
Take care.
