Dear Sunny, Thank you for letting us know of the death of Rick. Teresa and Rachel were part of Phase I activities at Kemper when I was assigned there. They participated in the July 1983 camp in Wisconsin when Basil and I were there. Rick brought his welcoming smile to events and activities of his daughters both at Kemper and at camp visiting day for parents. Please also extend to Teresa and Rachel my condolences.

Sunny, I must have met Rick in Houston, but I don't remember him clearly. I know what you mean about "confusingly" you miss him. That is so often the case when we have been with someone so long (28 years, wow!). I'm sorry for your loss. A life you lived together.

Hello, Colleagues, I'm totally unsure why I've waited over 6 months to share this information. Yet, here it is. My husband of 28 years (that ended in March of 1998) breathed his last a few days after his 76th birthday early last November. I've attached the obituary from his sister. He was celebrated in North Carolina where he lived with his 2nd wife, again in Oklahoma where we grew up, and finally here in Denver with family from all locations at his favorite Thai restaurant (a favorite cuisine ever since the Siam In Chicago was a little diner on the corner).
He was ready, having had health issues for some time, and had been happy. Somewhat confusingly, I do miss him and his oft-repeated jokes and push to "get 'er done" vs. get it perfect - a match with me that produced a lot of ICA audio visuals.
May he continue to rest in peace at the pearly gates, lined up with those blue shirts who preceded him,
In loving memory, Sunny
