Skip: I was so sorry to hear of Rick's passing even tho I knew of his problems. For over 20 years I had the privilege & honor to work with Rick. The support and friendship we shared cannot be measured. I considered myself lucky to have been his co-workerer .We shared tears, tough times, worries, family crises and loss, but also had smiles and laughter and the gift of friendship & many memories. He was a great Boss RIP dear friend!

Dearest Nep and Skip: Please accept my heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your beloved son, Rick. He was just a little guy when I graduated w/your niece, Barbara. I remember that he was such a cute kid and always smiling. Dwell on the "fond" memories of your "baby boy" for that is what helps sustain us in these most difficult times. God bless you. Love and Prayers, Sheila (Morris) Chichick.
