Rick was a friend whom I am blessed to have known and spent time with. I loved being around him. He was so much fun. He had a bigger than life personality, and an enormous love for Laura, his family, and life. Rest In Peace in Heaven big man!!! Rudy
Rick was such a pleasure to know and he was so wonderful to his dad. Prayers for the family.
So sorry to hear of Rick’s passing. My prayers go out to Laura and the rest of the family. I worked with Rick at Ardagh and enjoyed our talks of how “things should be run”. He used that Marine training and applied those leadership traits into running the plant.
I worked with Rick during his time with Ardagh. What a great guy and I am grateful hat I got to know him. Prayers to the family.
Rick was a great man with a huge personality. I often think back on my time with Rick. He was by far the best boss I ever had. We would work hard and play hard. Loved our golfing times, hunting times (got my one and only deer with Rick and his son David). Enjoyed working with him, sharing life stories and talking about our futures. Over the years we would stay in touch and joke with each other. I am totally stunned and I have a void in my heart tonight. Life is too short. Prayers to Laura, Aaron and David. We lost a great Marine but God gained a great angel. Thanks for being a part my life! Prayers for peace!🙏🏻
