My prayers are with you all during this time. I worked with Ric many years ago. I remember an network install trip to Huntsville, Alabama. At the completion of the installation work, we got free tickets to a local triple-A baseball game. We had A LOT of good fun in the "cheap seats" watching that game! Ric was a great person to work with. May he be at peace.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May the love of family & friends help you through the days ahead. We will always remember Ric for his silly, corny jokes. Especially the ones he repeated over & over. Someone so special can never be forgotten. May his soul rest in peace.
