Worked together for years. A true gentleman and one of the most straight-forward men I have had the pleasure of meeting.

My so sorry to hear of Ricks passing. Rick and I were close friends as teenagers. We first met while cadets in the civil air patrol. We remained close for many more years along with or other best pal Bob. The three of us spend many years roaming the woods around Canadice Lake. And also found time for some road trips to Toronto Canada, Gettysburg Pa., Washington DC.. We lost contact while the two of served in the US Army. We resumed are friendship after the Army. And the three of us along with our new buddies George and Steve, started paling around again. Than we kind of lost each other as our lives went separate ways. I'm sad that we didn't take the time to get together at lest one more time. Rick will always be with me. RIP Rick
