Rick and I were colleagues for several years at Medic Computer Systems and Allscripts. He was well respected for his leadership and technical expertise, and a fine man on a personal level. Sending my condolences and prayers for Rick's family.

While I cannot attend Rick's celebration of life tonight, I wish to send my condolences to his family. Rick was an awesome person and one of our best employees at both Medic Computer Systems and A4. We could always count on him to deliver quality with attention to detail. I doubt that I ever saw him have a bad day in all those years and I was especially honored when he left Medic to join our very small company at A4 that he helped build into a major EMR company. He died very young, but he lived a quality and rewarding life. Best to all his beloved family members who he was so proud of.

Annette & Rick's Family,

I was so sorry to learn of Rick's passing. I worked with Floy Mae at Greens Jewelers in Smithfield. I talked to Rick after your Mother passed and we shared our memories of her at that time. Rick was such a kind person and will surely be missed. Please accept my sincere sympathy.
Sincerely,

Ricky was one of my best friends in high school, and I was fortunate to reconnect with him recently. We played in a "rock" band together, wrote songs, played basketball & tennis. He was a special friend and my heart goes out to all of his surviving family. We will honor him with a donation and extend our deepest sympathies. I have included pictures from 1977-79 of us playing music, together with our 1979 tennis senior picture.
