Roy Robert Ricke

Mr. Ricke, as I knew him, was one of a kind. His brilliance in the ability to design complex machinery was amazing. Just a terrific person that always put his family first. Thinking of the family on this loss.

Royal was one of my favorite people at Schwans. Always cheery, friendly, bubbling with enthusiasm and ideas. Just a joy to be around. Thought fondly of him many times after I left Schwans.

I so enjoyed working with Roy in Salina - another Minnesotan to bond with. In fact he flew me and my husband down to Salina from Marshall one time. He was such an asset to the business but more than that a lot of fun! Please accept my condolences, I regret I did not keep in touch with Roy much in the last few years. Lori (Mastrian) Kruse
