For the family Dennis, Gregg/Amy and Julie sorry to hear about your lost, thoughts and prayers are with me. Rick I'm glad you are in a better place, not in pain and hope one day to see you again. I hope you can all make it through this hard time, the most important part is sticking together as family. I have been truly touched from all of you and really enjoyed working with both Rick and his father. I'll always keep you in my heart as long as I live. If you guys ever need anything Amy, Julie or Dennis don't be afraid to get ahold of me. You will always be family.

Although I never personally met Rick, I will never forget the time he stopped his car in front of my house to let my Grandaughter and myself cross the street. I also heard many times about his compassion and integrity while working for Boldt. Rest in peace Rick.
