John Wright wrote a sympathy message

“Diane and family, I had the privilege of working with Rick at Edmonton Meat Packing for 20 years or so. We had a common gel in the fact that Rick and I grew up in the same area of the city, Inglewood/Prince Charles and although Rick was a couple years older, we knew the same people and would often chuckle about the crazy things we did around the neighborhood. After Bison was shut done, Rick, Fern and I would go for lunch and just talk. He will be missed! Sending much love, John Wright”
