Not sure what to say?

Just missing you, my friend, my big brother, my boss, my confidant. I love you Rick! I will make sure I stay in touch with the love of your life, Janice!

I just found out today that you left me. I loved you dearly, Rick. You were my brother from another mother, the best manager I ever worked for, and my friend. We were like a well-oiled machine and invincible. You were a private man, but one of the best men I will ever know, with your dry sense of humor and quick wit. I read all of the other posts and started reflecting when I read Bert's and Patti's. We all were a great team and you and Bert were partners in crime.

Dear Janice,...

Janice...so sorry for your loss. Rick was a wonderful friend over the years...a kind and decent person who always could make life seem a little better!

I will miss him.

You and your family will be in my heart and prayers.

Dear Janice and Kate,

My deepest condolences to you both for the loss of an incredible soul, "Grob" as he referred to himself when signing off text messages or email. Rick was full of strength, love, and a sense of humor that he freely shared with many. He was consoling me in my time of grief and did not share his own struggle until I was on the mend. At the end of every message he reminded me to stay safe. Just like when he was our inflight manager in EWRSW. Fly safe, have a safe...

Janice & family,
Grob was the most beloved supervisor in Denver. He always had a warm smile & a good joke. So sorry he left you all so soon. He will be sorely missed.

Jan and Kate,
There are no words to describe the sadness of this news. I feel very honored blessed to have known and worked with Rick, her was the warmest, kindest man to have worked with at ORD. Always a smile, he was the best.
My deepest sympathy to you and the family,

Dear Janice and familyI was so saddened to hear that Rick had passed, I Reflect back to all of the good times we had in CLE.He was such a good person and a friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. So sad, Bert millar

I worked with Rick in Cleveland Inflight; one of my favorite times was when he would come in in the morning after I had been there for 3-4 hours, sit down and tell me a joke! Silly yes, but Rick had his own sense of humor. He will be sorely missed!
