We just heard today of Rick's passing. Rick was one of the first to welcome us to Jacksonville in 2001 when we transferred from Pittsburgh. We know he was a great lover of Ohio state and Nascar. We always talked about all of us going to a race together someday. We both loved his humor and his pride he had for his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We will miss him.

Linda and family



I have worked with and grown to know Rick over the last few yrs. He was very proud of his wife of 35 yrs. and his boys. He would always tell me about Linda's cooking. My prayers and thoughts are with you and yours.

Linda,Steve and Tim,

It is so hard to believe that Rick/Dad is gone. I'll never forget how he welcomed me into the family. He would "give you the shirt off his back" and ask if he could do anymore to help. You always knew where you stood with Rick, but I don't think that I ever heard him say an unkind word. He will be missed by our entire family. We love you all and are praying for you.
