Dear Rita & Family,
You don't know me at all, but I was one of Rick's clients. I moved back to Broomfield (where I lived in 1982) more recently in 2015, where I lived there until May of last year.

Rick not only expertly guided me through coverage options of my over-powered SRT8 Challenger, but then in that first year, after I bought a new Jeep Cherokee, because clearly, the Chally didn't understand Snow on E470, after moving from Florida and Memphis. (My only saving grace, was that I grew up in Chicago and lived in CO before, but at nearly 500HP, I needed to park the Dodge during winters.)

My point is, Rick was a consummate professional and had a very calming warmth and leadership about him that guided me through my many options, as I struggled with a massive job transition, out-of-state relocation and ultimately a devastating separation from my wife of 32-years. In short, Rick was not Only my Agent, but a wonderful counselor, therapist and friend.

He gave me the opportunity to practice my slaughtered attempts at speaking German, having been raised in the Lutheran church my entire life. He was a man of faith, and truly a source of comfort to me, albeit from a distance to my own life. THAT is who Rick was to strangers!

So when I learned of his Passing, I was deeply moved to tears, at the shock of it all. He and I had never met face-to-face, and it was only here that I finally caught my first glimpse of him ever. And I thought, "Well, yeah. This is exactly what I expected this very kind man to look like. Handsome, confident and endearing."

Rita, you and your family have my most sincere condolences over the loss of this Great Man. But as my own father taught me at a young age, 'Auf wiedersehen' does not mean farewell, as it is more Improperly interpreted; it more correctly and beautifully means, "Until we meet again".

My God Bless You and your family, with the sure hope of the Resurrection and keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
