Dear Janet:
I was so surprised to see the obit in Saturday's paper. I did not know Rick, but know you and Wanda. I didn't even know he was sick. So sorry for your loss.

Janet,
I worked with Rick as an SAE contractor back in 1997. He was a great person to know from the first day I met him. I knew that you worked for Nortel also but never got the pleasure of meeting you. He was very much a family man, I remember him showing me the beautiful RV he bought & talking about his dad running a service station years before & how much he enjoyed spending time with his family. May God bless you & your family during this difficult time.

Janet...So sorry for your loss. It was such a shock this morning. Hate that I have not seen Ricky in years. I worked for his mom @ John Umstead on Forsythe Unit & loved her dearly. Think so fondly of those wonderful yrs with her & enjoyed every "Ricky" story on a daily bases.Wishing you & your family peace & comfort knowing he is not suffering any more.
