To the Numbers family, I would like to give my condolences, for their loss, Rick was a very good man, I have known Rick for over 30 years, mainly through our love of cars, but also, that we have met outside the workplace and ate lunch together on many occasions. Rick was always, Fair and Honest in every way to me, and I feel that He will be sorely missed.

Our thoughts are with you all. Rick was funny, warm, and caring. I especially remember his Indianapolis 500 records: who knew that audio of cars going around a race track could be so entertaining! Much love-

Deeply sorry to hear of Ricks passing. I was a graduate of Northmont in 1970. Knew Rick from our love of Hot Rod cars and from the auto parts store. I was also a friend of his sister Debbie. Godspeed Rick....
