I´ve known Rick for about 40 years! He was a kind gentle thoughtful intelligent soul who always kept in touch with family and friends. A music and movie lover who always had a heads up on what was happening in both fields. He helped the Tramonte family run the Bayou in DC and also manage a club called JJ´s in Arlington Va where he was born and grew up. We worked many years at the Postal Mail Processing Plant in Merrifield Va. we shared many cassettes and CD´s over the years. He was a great communicator and listener and a graduate of UVA and loved their sports teams and Washington´s Sports teams. Everyone loved Rick and he was not a judgmental person and accepted everyone as they are! Really going to miss our bi-monthly talks on the phone! We were all blessed to have him in our lives! You rest in peace now my brother

Rick was a great guy with a smile as wide as his love for UVa sports. We used to keep each other posted with game scores when we worked at night with the USPS.

Missing our weekly catch-up calls, and the chance to hear about family and friends. Also those too infrequent dinners to meet in person. Rest well Rick.

I will miss seeing Rick at Wolf Trap. The man did love his music. God Bless you my friend. You always made me feel joy and now your memory makes me smile
