Such a great thoughtful guy! When we worked together at Eckerd my daughter was having night terrors you went on vacation in Vegas you brought her back a dream catcher. She still has it in her bedroom. Thoughts and prayers to your family!
I loved your smile and enthusiasm. You were always there to encourage me when I would get overwhelmed. Like don’t sweat the small stuff and Don’t kill the messenger. My son was also saddened, you nicknamed him Wimpy, when he would call at night and ask for a hamburger on my way home. All the lives you have touched and made a difference in. You made the world a better place.

Rest in peace my St William, Circuit City buddy. Enjoy watching the replays of the SuperBowl in Heaven. Say hi to Mike Nyce up there and tell him about the game while you’re drinking Miller Lites with him.
Rick, your last message to me is now my message to you…
“You were such a great friend and a great worker…you made us a great team.”
The news of your passing is not easy to accept. I will forever be grateful for having you as my manager, mentor, and friend. Not many people make such an impact on a person’s life as you have for me. I am so very sorry that you are gone and you will forever be missed.
