So sorry to hear of Rick's tragic death. I am one of the hundreds of friends he had in high school who was deeply touched by his life and profoundly saddened by his passing. May his light continue to burn bright in the hearts of his family and friends. His classmates will be remembering him together on June 11th as we gather together in New York City.

From all of us at Bread Alone, we are all so sad to hear of Rick's passing. Rick brought great joy and enthusiasm with him, always! His laugh was unmistakable and his sense of humor uniquely his own. We always enjoyed his sales calls and friendship. He was a very good guy and we will miss him. Our deepest condolences to his family.

To Ricky's family, I am saddened and shocked to hear about Ricky's dying. I met him when I married his brother when he was twelve years old. He was an important presence in our lives as a teenager in Mexico and as an adult at our farm in Shelburne Falls, MA. My condolences for your loss.
