My deepest condolences are offered to you, Patti, and to your daughter, Kate. I worked with Rick
and you for many years at FEMA Region III. He was a brilliant and caring professional, who waltzed through regulatory challenges and had an easy way of presenting federal wording to the Regional constituents. Rick always shined, using wit and humor to encourage the group then, and throughout later years. He will be sorely missed.

Rick was my first cousin, also my only cousin on my Mother’s side. He will be missed tremendously. He was a very loving husband and father. He is at peace now with his Mother and Father.
