To the Mintz Family: "Death is but a shadow that leads to eternal life." One word describes Rick best to me; He was a very compassionate "young" man, working with him, greeting him in the mornings, he was always very polite and approachable. Rest Now, Rick. Receive your heavenly reward.

Thank you, everyone, for the kind words about Rick. I remember and know most of you; and if I never met you, he told me so many lovely stories about you all -- Sukran & Bulant especially. You both were so loved by him. Tony, Benita, Bonnie, Ivan, Bev, Grace, Dot...countless people. If it felt like he cared for and adored you it's because it was true. He really, truly did.

Thank you everyone.

I met Rick while working at CPC. I watched him go from a desk on the floor, into the office and become our manager, mentor, leader and friend. He always had your back and would do his best to help if you had an issue. He was someone I kept in touch with long after I left and moved to Colorado, because he remained my friend. Many of us who came and went at CPC weren't just employees, we were a family. It breaks my heart to see him leave us all at such a young age. I grieve not only for my loss but for us all, especially his wife & two daughters.
They have suffered the biggest loss and my heart goes out to them and the rest of his family. I will always keep you in my heart and every rubber band ball I see will always remind me of the first yr we met. Hail the Traveler and Happy journey my friend!
