Rick will be greatly missed. He was among the kindest, and most honest people I've known. We met in the Fall of 1988, when Lindenmeyr Paper was merged with D.F. Munroe. The Lindenmeyr contract was terminated by the Company, and the Lindenmeyr drivers and warehousemen were transferred into the two D.F. Munroe warehouses in Peabody and Mansfield under a closing agreement between Teamsters Local 504 and the Employer. Rick was among the core pro-Union unit employees in Peabody, and Rick, as a past Local 25 member at Dave's Air Freight, was indispensable in leading what became a 12 year struggle that finally resulted in bringing all Lindenmeyr Munroe workers in Massachusetts under a Local 504 collective bargaining agreement, including restoration of Employer required contributions into the New England Teamsters and Trucking Industry Pension Plan. It would not have happened without dedicated workers like Rick. Rick was a true friend and Brother Union member. Me, my wife Solangel, and our two children Nicole and Reuben loved Rick for his incredibly positive outlook on life, his great humor, advice on anything relative to plumbing, carpentry, auto repair; his love of his family.

Rick made the World a better place for all that shared it with him. Thank you for that Rick. Rest in peace my Brother.
