I first met Rick when we both worked at Canadian Hunter Exploration. To my good fortune, we also ended up working together again at PrimeWest Energy, and subsequently TAQA. As it was, I had lots of opportunity to tease Rick about him being a bit of a conundrum: a “nuts and bolts” facility engineering guy, yet possessing such an artistic talent; however that diversity was just one of the reasons that I thought made him special. He was one of the good guys, full of common sense, “the guy” to go to when you had a Facility question. My sincere condolences to his wife Dawn and all of his Family. John D'Eath
