Sorry Julie about the passing of Richard. He and I worked together from the early nineties thru 2004. First, for a regional real estate firm and then a national electronics recycling company. During that time he headed up the marketing departments of both companies.
He was very intuitive on the art of making a deal.
He will be missed by all.
RIP Rick.....

Dear Julie, I am so so sorry. I am grateful that you found each other and had such a wonderful life together. You both share a wicked sense of fun and a wonderful warm outlook on the world. We met when Rick and you took our family in and showed us around over a vacation in New England 15 years ago. I have treasured our friendship and so glad I got to see Rick in action mentoring his boxing pupils in Florida. Sending you all our love and condolences, xxxx
