Rickey was my first boss when I started at Salem. We called him a big Teddy Bear because that's exactly what he was. The absolute sweetest and even after he retired he would still call and check on us. So very sorry to the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I work at Fleet Painting & Trailer Repair and had the pleasure of doing work for Rickey many years while at Salem Leasing. He was such a kind and cheerful person and one of my favorite people to deal with. He will be sorely missed!
