Rick was the man who hired me at School District 11 Facilities. Such a nice guy, he was looked at as more of a friend than the boss. I will miss him terribly.

Rick was my CPR renewal instructor a number of times during my own career in School District 11. He was unfailingly kind and encouraging: an all-around good guy. I send my sincere sympathy to his loved ones.
