"Rick" welcomed me to Bregy School with open arms. I was naturally nervous when I started and he helped me to calm down. My students always looked forward to time spent in his computer lab. He was a stellar teacher and human.

We were very good friends during our high school years, always together with Kenny, Janet, Joe, Bill. Great fun times. I haven´t seen him in years but we both became teachers. Very sad to hear this. My condolences to his family. Vince Verderame
