Andy Peters wrote a sympathy message

“Rick Mead was one of the most compassionate and understanding men I have ever come across. One of the best life lessons I learned from Rick was that he would let you perform a task the way you felt it should be done. If it was right, he congratulated you. If it was wrong, he taught you the proper way to do it. I also learned to give everything and expect nothing in return. I worked for Rick for a short time, and the lessons he taught me are lessons most people do not learn in a lifetime.”
