I’ve known Rick since going to Saratoga school. He was always a good guy! Went to school through LHS with him. Sorry to hear about his passing. My prayers for his family
We are so sorry for your loss. Our sympathy to your family during this difficult time.
Not sure how I met Rick early on but we ended up railroading together. He played on Euphoria’s ball team in the 80’s. Turns out he was also a classmate of my wife at LHS. Rick was a person who always had a smile on his face and a bit of a twinkle in his eye. He left the world a little better place for everyone
I also work with Rick at Wesleyan . Sorry for your loss. Was a great guy. He will make Heaven a better place.
