My husband worked with Rick on Mamma Mia! in Las Vegas. During that time, Rick volunteered his time and talent to a number of readings of a play I wrote. He was very generous and talented. I was shocked when I saw his name on the In Memoriam list of the current Equity News. Our sincere condolences to his loved ones.

As a fan of GH since day 1, I look forward to the nurse's ball every year. I want to express deeply how saddened for all of us fans, and family alike will be without him in the years to come. May he rip with the angels in heaven. May the sweet Lord loose his comforting angels around his family at this time amen.

Rick...what a true talent. The entertainment industry and fans of your work will miss you immensely. I am a longtime fan of General Hospital and have always respected the voice you've added to the HIV and AIDS research community through your caring work with the Nurse's Ball. Thank you for your genuine contribution to so many people and may you rest in pure peace.

He was a fantastic soul. Always brightened up a room. Every time! What a hard worker and family man. Whatta friend and mentor. Nobody could play the villain with a smile, yet still be SO lovable on camera. What a shock. He was amazing! God bless ALL those he touched... May we all take his example of living life to the fullest. Prost.. Jersey forever!!(Even though I'm a Chicago kid..my family's from Paramus). Johnny B.

He sounded like such a great entertainer and choreographing expert on General Hospital! I am sure they will miss him dearly! These episodes have always been fun to watch! As a long time fan of the show, I rarely missed an episode since the beginning! Rick, may you rest in peace, and join the Angel choirs of heaven! ❤
