Dear Bonnie; I was shocked and saddened to hear of Rick s Passing. As you know I knew Rick as a student and graduate of the former College of Trades and Technology (now College of the North Atlantic) where I was then teaching physics. Rick was an apt student. Being more mature he had a more serious approach and the common sense that is almost a requirement for this subject My heartfelt sympathy to all.
Bonnie, I was so sorry to hear of Rick’s passing . Be assured you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time . Rick was always so nice and friendly towards me and always eager to lend a helping hand . He always had a big bright smile on his face . May he rest in peace . God bless you and your family .
