Anyone that had the pleasure to work with Rick absolutely loved him for not only his knowledge and expertise but his good heart and kindness to everyone. In this capacity he mentored and supported every young driller that was lucky enough to work alongside him. He always loved to share and pass on his knowledge and talent to his younger co-workers. His impact had a ripple effect on helping drillers pursue their career path in this industry.
