Not sure what to say?

There is hardly a day that goes by while I am at work that I do not think about Mr. Riddick. I say that because I have chosen to mentor the new, young guys that are so green and new to the work life. Bob was my mentor during my time at Lear, he is still my mentor in spirit, and I feel it is my responsibility to the new guys to pass on what knowledge I can to keep them safe and productive. That is how I remember Bob Riddick almost every day. I tell the new guys about him, so they understand...

Eleven years later and I still think about Bob almost daily, especially while at work. I still perform my job as if he were my boss. It is my intent to never disappoint him. I learned so much from him as an employee and a person. I think of Bob every time I start a new book or watch an interesting documentary. I will always consider Bob my mentor. He has shown me how to be a mentor to the younger new hires where I currently work. I still try to make him proud of me everyday.

Ola and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know your father personally, but these words from others tells me that he was a wonderful, kind person. I, of course, can see those qualities in you.
Thinking of you, Michele Martinez

Bob, you guided many young adults in the right direction. They can only be thankful to you now. Thanks for your thoughtfulness, kindness and encouragement. You'll be missed by many. Say Hi to Turtle for me in Heaven.

Bob, You will truly be missed. It was fun working with you. And my condolences to the family.

Someone once said that a friend is someone who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. That describes the character of Bob. When Lear was going through rough times, his stories of the frog and his pep talks would make us, as a team, look in ourselves and want to be the best, not just for his sake, but for ours. Good people inspire others to be good. That was, and remains the influence of Bob Riddick. May God bless his family in their hour of need and always.

And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." (Luke 23:43)
