Tributes
"I worked with Rick for many years and always enjoyed his wit. He was definitely one of the best Lay-Out people in the steel fabrication business. He was always willing to share his knowledge with others. He would come up with better, easier and faster ways to solve a problem. My best to his brother Randy and the rest of his family. I am sure he will be missed and remembered. Thanks for letting me know you. Sincerely, Kim Wardle "
