I was just at the dermatologist today and thought of Rick. I told the dermatologist that I had a friend who used to drive a cab while we were in college. Oddly he had a tan on the left side of his face and left arm the other side was completely white.I think I mentioned before we were roommates in college, Just wanted y’all to know I’m still thinking about him. Ask brother George what he did with the piranha Rick and I kept in a fish tank in the apartment.

Rick had worked for my husband, Ed Galeski, at Galeski Photo Center back in the early 70's. I know Eddie was always fond of him, and I thought the world of Rick. I last saw him at a reunion we had about 8 years ago of the Galeski employees.
I tried to locate his wife so I could talk with her, but have been unable to find her.
I want to send my heart felt best wishes to his family, and may the wonderful memories you have, help you through this hard time.

Rick and I were friends in High School. Later we shared an apartment on Chamberlain Ave. before we both graduated from college, got married, and went in the Army. I have great memories riding around Richmond in Rick's Fiat 500. He had it tricked out with a loud speaker and we had a lot of fun with that. He also had a pet piranha fish in the apartment...very cool. I believe George got it after we went in the army. Rick and I were great fans of The Man From Uncle...at times we would...

I was privileged to work with Rick @ Signet/Bank of VA. He was highly intelligent and very creative. A real go-getter with a gentle soul. Sad to see that he is gone.

I remember Ricky and his rosey cheeks so well from St. Elizabeth Parocial School. I saw him often when at BHS and I was at ST. Gertrudes. I saw Ricky and his family a few times at Naylor's Beach near Tappahannock many years ago and we said hello. So sorry to hear about his death...Sheila Holliday Talley
