Rick was one of the nicest persons anyone could ever know. He would help whenever asked and would listen to one’s problems and concerns with an open mind and heart, providing valuable advice. He did his job of enforcing the law with U.S. Customs with integrity and enthusiasm utilizing an abundance of common sense. His knowledge of how the government operated was enormous and many people learned very much from him. It was always a pleasure to come to work and see his jovial smile and upbeat attitude. He was missed when he retired and will be missed even more now. Yet he will never be forgotten.
