Claudette, I want to express my deepest condolences to you and all of Rick’s family and friends.
It was such a pleasure knowing Rick. He was such a kind and caring man who always had a big smile on his face and was always eager to help out with anything. Not to mention a great pool player who beat me every single time:)
He will be greatly missed.
Claudette, I am so sorry to hear of Rick’s passing. He was a kind, gentle man in the brief time I knew him at SPV.
