Joanne & Family, we love you and your love story with Rick! He was the Best Brother, Uncle & Godfather –
With all our love, Dan, Michele, Tarryn, Nichole, Christopher
Our deepest condolences. Our thoughts & prayers are with your family. Rick will be missed by all of us. He was a great man –
From, Scooby & Shaggy Golf League
When I joined SASIB/GRS/Alstom in 1996, Rick was one of the first persons I worked with. He was the Staff Engineer at the time, in other words, the in-house Application Engineering guru. He was like a mentor for many of us less experienced engineers, offering technical advice and general counsel with company-related matters. His office door was always open, even though he was a very busy man as his position in the Company made him the go-to guy, including whenever a railway/transit customer anywhere in the world was experiencing system technical difficulties that they could not solve and in which only an on-site/hands-on appearance by Rick could resolve.
While he was well known for his superior technical knowledge and experience, he was even better known for his character and personality. Rick always had a positive can-do attitude and if there was any tension in meetings, either in-house or with customers, he was always the calmest guy in the room and had the knack for putting everyone else at ease with his philosophical approach, his experience and his wisdom. People always left the room in a better mood than when they arrived because of Rick’s attitude and demeanor.
I just watched the family tribute video. Obviously, as much as he was valued and respected in his professional life, more importantly, he was a loving, devoted family man. And yes, he was a very good golfer whether he admits to it or not!
Even though I didn’t spend as much time with him as many others, anyone who got to know him was touched by him and he will be sorely missed.
I will always remember Uncle Rick as a man who always had a smile on his face and he’d be damned if he wasn’t going to put one on yours! He was one of the few to make my mom laugh. It was always a good time when Uncle Rick was around. He will be missed. He was a great guy.

We’re so glad we all got together at the lake at the end of August.
Rick’s cheerful disposition and sense of humor were ever present.
He will be greatly missed.
Thank you both for helping us learn how to make a good marriage great!
