My deepest sympathy to Rick's entire family. I knew him during the time I worked at Kettle Lakes Co-op and found Rick to be a very kind, considerate and respectful person. I always enjoyed visiting & helping him when he came to the Agronomy Dept. He will be remembered for a long time because of who he was and how he lived his life. Rick is gone, but he is looking after his family from above. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
