Rick was an excellent Fourth Grade teacher especially in science. We taught on the same level and he was knowledgeable, compassionate and a friend to students. He was always looking for ways to get kids interested in learning. It was a great honor to serve as a co-teacher with him.
He was a great Teacher I really enjoyed his class. I also have fond memories of the English pointer bird dog named patch that my Dad bought from him. He really new how to train those dogs. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.
