Summary

Four commenters remembered Rick as a student-leader, volunteer and “go getter,” and one speaker described work pushing surgical water standards and training inspectors for dialysis systems.

In recorded remarks, four commenters remembered Rick for early leadership in student government, steady work ethic and volunteerism, and for connections to water-treatment training work.

Speaker 2, commenter, said, "Rick was a go getter. He was determined to be successful in in pretty much everything that he did. If if it could be achieved and Rick set a goal to get it done, then Rick got it done. He was also a really nice guy. He worked hard, typically would hold 2 jobs at a time outside of school, while senior year he was class president." Speaker 3 described Rick as energetic and service-oriented: "He's always volunteered for a lot of things, just tons of energy, always wants to do the best in everything." Speaker 4 said Rick stood out for leading and inspiring people: "That skill set alone made him incredibly successful in my organization and, of course, exactly with what he's doing today as well."

One commenter (Speaker 1) recounted education and water-industry experience in first person. Speaker 1 said they attended "Southwest Missouri State" and later "went into the water treatment industry." That speaker described raising standards for "surgery water" to address surgical-site infections and said, "Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, they hired me." The same speaker added: "My company is only a year too old, and I did some national training for, like, inspectors for water for dialysis. We do a lot of the water in Saint Louis now, which is kind of cool because it's, you know, I know a lot of people around here and I'm from here."

Commenters recalled Rick’s roles in school leadership and community activities. Speaker 1 said of early involvement: "Junior high school, I really got involved and, played some sports, wrestled, things like that. But what I really, got into was student government. And I'll be in my class president my senior year and then student vice president my senior year. I think that I learned a lot from that just working with people." Other remarks emphasized that Rick remained hardworking and willing to give back: "Rick is a role model, because Rick will do the right thing by people. Also, Rick is a person who likes to try to give back," Speaker 2 said.

The recorded remarks are primarily personal recollections and professional reflections from four commenters; no formal actions or decisions were recorded in the provided transcript.
