A true leader who loved his family and taught me a lot about leadership during my time with RPD. Had some good times fishing with him and Jerry Oliver.
Sorely missed and much love and respect.

Jenny, we are so sorry for your loss. We have you and the rest of the family in our prayers. I wish we could have known Rick better. As cops I am sure we would have a lot of tales to tell.

He was a Lieutenant when I joined the Dept. and I had many years of enjoying his presence, even if it was only in passing in the hallway. May he rest in peace.

As I read this out of town, on the internet, I can hear Rick saying, that it is OK folks. I have done my job here and I am going home.

Rick and I were in the same Academy

Class. I remember, even then, how impressed I was with his dedication and integrity. That impression continued through the years. We were not "hanging out" buddies, but I always thought of us as "friends". Please take comfort in knowing that the world is, in some way, a better place because of him. My sincerest sympathy.

Rick was my captain, and a good one. He was always kind to me, even when I was "on the carpet". His kindness will go on into the next life, where he will again climb the ladder of success.

God Speed, Captain.
