Rick was so much fun to be around at work(Hyatt) and outside of work. Good times at Ale house after work. Fun parties at Kathleen´s house.... Soooo, many special memories. Even back in the day we were in Boston and we met his family and he took us girls around and showed us all a great time. He had such a big heart and was so kind to everyone he met. RIP

Rick was a man of excellence. He was the type of guy that every girl dreams of. He was hard working, successful, artistic and intelligent. Undeniably handsome and fiercely loving, he was a man to be admired and a man to be loved- I did both. He was proud of his family and always gave credit to his parents for his work ethic and integrity. I remember him telling stories of his nieces and nephews and those stories always made his eyes sparkle. He spoke admiringly of both of his sisters and the respect that he had for them was reflected in the way he was always courteous to women- young and old. I am blessed to have known Rick for over 30 years. I will miss the delight he had over his suits, his obsession with his landscaping and the late night FaceTime calls when he was painting. I will simply miss the mere thought of him. He was exceptional.

I met Ricky when we were in our twenties and with genuine sincerity can say that Ricky grew into a gracious and generous person. Ricky has left a joyful memory with each of us who knew him and that will live on in our hearts and he will be missed; farewell friend. He was blessed to have a loving and loyal family who took care of him in his greatest time of need, my deepest condolences to you and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Rick was such a great person always helpful and enjoyed mentoring. He had a great sense of humor. So sad for him to pass away at such a young age.
