He swam for WT White High School in Dallas and the Texas A&M Swim Team. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Texas A&M University in Industrial Distribution, class of 80’. Rick cherished his relationships. He made every effort to stay in close contact with friends both personal (Fightin’ Aggie Reunion Types) and professional. Topping the list of Rick’s interests, Texas Aggies and Dallas Cowboys football, of course. Rick also loved history so many of the vacations he and Liz took were planned around historical sites and events. Italy, especially Lake Como, were among his favorites.
Rick was one of the lucky people who could say that he truly enjoyed his job. He was a skilled salesman and enjoyed working with his co-workers and customers. In the words of his boss, “He was one of the very best – caring for our customers and truly making a difference.”
