Sue, you and Rick were always such wonderful friends and the way you raised your two daughters was an inspiration to Tom and myself and gave us a model for raising our girls. My love to you.

Rick was one of my closest teenage buddies. He was a wonderful man -- gentle, kind, unfailingly upbeat, and a master of the humorous short poem. Rest in peace, my friend.

With great sorrow and deep sympathy, we write. Rick's passing is some of our own history passing. Our hearts go out to Sue, for whom we hope that time and his memory will be a balm. May his memory serve for a blessing for Sue and all the family.

I'm so glad you chose to include a photo of Rick and Sue together. To anyone who knew him, it was immediately and consistently clear that Rick adored his wife - the love of his life, indeed. Rick was an original: a kind, wise, funny, and very cherished friend and colleague. We share your sorrow at losing him way too soon.

Rick Miner was such a wonderful person and a good influence on me when I started at ESCO. He taught me to slow down, understand the big picture, and listen. Still working on that those lessens, and I think of him everytime I do.

I was so charmed by all of his creative phrases at one point I started a writing a list of them. Not sure if I still have that list, but if I do I will try to resurface some of those phrases in his honor. "Herding cats" is one I still use all the time. ...

I worked with Rick at ESCO Systems Department and always enjoyed his wit and brains. Dick Leonard

Rick was a close friend from the ESCO days, we lunched together in Prescott Az, and kept in touch all these years. I will miss Rick and his jovial views on life and just about everything, May the blessings be,
