We were saddened to hear about Mr D. When we found out about his passing, all the great memories of the years on The Don Bosco Dance Team came back to us. Because of Mr . D’s leadership, dedication and passion, he led the girls to winning many competitions, State Championships and also led them to National Championships each year at the Wide World of Sports in Disney World. With his leadership and commitment, he helped the girls realize their full potential by motivating them to fulfill their talents and inspire confidence in them. These attributes helped them throughout their lives. We are so grateful for Mr. D and we will truly miss him.

Rick never failed to make me laugh. Always had a joke on the fly. He was a great soul with a sense of humor you had to understand to know that he had a heart of gold. I’ll miss him dearly. Rick I hope your up there making everyone laugh.

Sorry to hear about Mr. D's passing. He was a great supporter of DBP and the mission of the Salesians.

He had such an effect on all his students - whether you were in his class or not, you knew who he was and he knew who you were.

He has earned his place in Christ's Kingdom!
