My deepest sympathies to the family and friends.

justamechanic, I apologize for adding this to this thread, but anyone who turns wrenches on A/C is more than "just a mechanic". Be proud of what you do. I know it is hard to be proud of any airline anymore, but take pride in being an A/C mechanic. Mechanics hold more lives in their hands every day than anyone else in the industry.

My best to all; all of you at US deserve better.

No one knows for sure what happened. Rick got laid off last year.. He packed up and moved back to Florida.. I picked up his Obit. on the internet after someone
told me he had passed away.

Rick had cancer many years ago. There is speculation he may have had a relapse that he could not beat this time. Rick was a good guy, good technician and a smart guy.. I am quite sure he will be missed by everyone who knew him.
