So sorry to hear that Rick passed away. He was one of my favorite clients for many years, and my friend. I remember well when he came into my office many years ago and asked me to incorporate a new new business for him. He said the name was to be Pala, Inc. I did not know the word, and he said it meant shovel. He certainly did a wonderful job of building the company into a respected contractor. It feels like an era is passing. Condolences to his entire family.

Dear Ana, It is with deep sorrow that I read about the death of Rickey. Rickey and I spent many hours together battling many construction and maintenance jobs. I learned a lot from Rickey that helped me in my own business. Tell your children how much I respected Rickey.
I am truly sorry for your loss,
