Linda-I’m so very sorry for your loss. I know how much Rick meant to you! Praying for you and the rest of your family! My sincere condolences! Always here for you!
Gale, I have only know Rick for about two years and from the minute I meet him I felt like we had been friends forever. I imagine everyone felt that way around him too. Just in that short amount of time I have very fond memories of being around him and Caleb and enjoying his laughter. Bless you and your family and I am deeply sorry for your loss. The world is missing a very special person.
You will be missed by so many people. You were always there when I needed your help without being asked and I so thanks you for that. You were a great son in law and you were my best friend. I will miss you and will always Love you..

Rick,
As I recall, to years of past. , I remember how happy and full of life Gayle had become since she first shared with me, her feelings of love and wanting to always be with you.
You both created a beautiful lasting relationship and family, that any couple could wish to have.
I regret that over the years that we did not spend much family time together. But the times that we did share, always left me with a warm place in my heart for you!
Thank you, for taking such wonderful care of my niece I never felt I had to worry for her.
May you journey into a blissful peace
Much Adoration,
Aunt Di Di
Gayle,
My sincerest condolences to you and the family on the loss of your beloved Rick. Regrettably I never had the opportunity to meet Rick, but after reading some other comments, it sounds like he was a very loving and caring man who would help out anyone in times of need. I love you, cousin, and I’m always here for you.
Sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers.
Gayle & Family,
Our deepest condolences for your loss. Rick was a good friend and a great employee to Eco Materials. We are saddened by his passing and will miss his expertise on many fronts. It was always evident that he cared deeply for his family. Many of his coworkers have shared with me that they had the utmost respect and regard for Rick. Please know that we are all praying for your family.
I do dispatch for Eco and had the pleasure of working with Rick. He was such a fun part of my day when he’d give me a call or text. He was such a sweet man and I was very sad to hear the news. He would always help me when I didn’t know what to do and I tried my best to make his job easier. My deepest condolences for your loss.
Hi Steve,
I am sorry for your and your family’s loss. Sending you a big hug from Birmingham, we surely missed you last week at the offsite!
What a great man gone too soon! He helped us out at Lonewolf. He will be deeply missed. Continued prayers for comfort and support to the family.
This is Brian Smith w/ Red -E-Mix Transportation . You have my deepest condolences. Rick was a very thoughtful well planned and organized, gentlemen. He will be greatly missed . He and I have worked together for approximately 32 years. We could always communicate with one another pleasantly, even after that many years.
I’ve known and worked with Rick for 24+ years. He was the perfect mix of coworker and friend. He was the leader of our local team and he will be greatly missed. Thanks for the years of leading us all and being a great friend!
Prayers and condolences to the family.
I have worked with Rick for several years, he was great at problem solving and great to work with and chat with. I will miss our conversations either by phone or in person meetings. Will definitely miss his great laugh. Rest high brother! You will definitely be missed here in the fly-ash world!
My heart and prayers go out to Rick’s family and friends!
