Rick was a dear sweet man who was always kind and generous to everyone here at Palm Square. He never hesitated to buy anyone a meal at the Estabrook if they were in need. Goodbye friend. You will be missed. Say hello to Dennis for me.

My sincere sympathy to all the members of Rick’s family…Rick and I were neighbors for awhile and were good childhood friends…Not sure how many hours we spent together playing basketball…I remember Rick as a fun loving kid who seemed to enjoy whatever he was doing…I know I enjoyed being with him…May his family find comfort and peace in the memories you shared with him and the special moments you spent together

I used to be Ricks mailman when he owned Hudson Trophy. Always offered to pay for my sub sandwich while Rick, Tom Lavoie and I had lunches in his office. So sorry for your loss.

I am deeply saddened by this news and wish peace to Trevor, Holly, Tim and his extended family. I always sought out Rick at our family functions and he was always positive and in great spirits during these times. As an older cousin, I remember how proud Rick was of his children and his level of success as a businessman. Family functions will never be the same.
