Someone wrote a sympathy message

“Rick had worked for many years with the Bureau of Rehabilitation Services in Waterbury. I had met him back in 1995 when I first started with the agency, and had spent the next 14 years working with him in the office until his retirement. Rick was a fun, and humorous guy, who was very approachable and good natured. He always had the best interest and intentions for the clients/consumers with whom he served. I will never forget his high pitched laughter and personable smile. Miss you Rick! Gary”
