Ric was my co-worker and friend for many years.  He and I sat 6 feet away from each other for 10 years.  During that time he and I would discuss everything from fishing (of course), politics, food, family and life in general. Ric was reserved, and a kind soul, and seemed to always find the good in people.  Ric was always looking to add to his recruits to go deep sea fishing.  He did "hook me in" twice, but my sea legs were no match for his.
He will be missed but always remembered.

Here is another, again quality isnt the best.  This one is from one of the many J6's "Percussion Therapy" sessions at the local range.  


Still digging through pictures, ran across this, not great quality (sorry). 

The second is from one of our J6 team BBQ's at Mather Flight facility.

Ric was like an older brother to me.  I've known him since birth.  I posted a long memory on Facebook, but , basically, I've known Ric as long as I've been alive.  Our families were close friends.  We did so many trips together -- Lake Pillsberry, Coast, etc.
I served with Ric in the 579th when I was in the Personnel Section with my Dad, CW4 James Pierce.
And Ric was the fishing coach for my daughter when she caught her first fish as a young child.
We have so much history together.
I miss you so much, my Brother!
Rest in peace!!! Love you!!!


I had the pleasure of meeting Ric in the early days of Camp Robert’s when all of the Company Clerks would get together in the PAC  ( Personnel Admin Center).  Ric was the section SGT.  We did this for several years.  It was always good to see Ric.  He was great to work with.  I ended up transferring to Santa Rosa and work on staff with Ric.  Ric was really a hard worker and knew what he was doing.  If I had a problem he was the go to guy and things would get done.  Later I was transferred to JFHQ and it was another chance to see Ric again.  I remember having several lunches in the cafeteria,  nice conversation and good times.  He will definitely be missed. RIP Ric and thank you for your service.

I had the honor of working with Ric for the better part of 15 years through multiple assignments.  He was always quick with a quip, a smile, and a hand when you needed it.  I really can't think of a kinder and genuinely caring individual.  His loss to the community is significant and he will be missed by all. 

My deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy to Ric’s Family. 
Ric was truly a kind, sincere, and hard working Soldier and person!  I had the privilege of working alongside of him in the J6/Directorate of Information Management for many years and his presence will truly be missed!  

RIP Brother!

Colonel (Retired) Keith Tresh

Ric and I met in 1983 when I joined the California Army National Guard 579th Engineer Bn - Personnel Admin section where he was the section leader. His smile won my heart. We were a couple until 1985 and lost touch until 2011 when we reunited. We had 6 more wonderful years together and shared countless fun adventures. He was as kind and generous as he was when we first met and still had that same charming smile. He’ll always be a cherished part of my heart. 

One of my fondest memories of Ric is having him explain to people why he goes by "Ric" and not "Rick" -- there is no "k" in Richard.  I can hear him saying it to this day and it puts a smile on my face.   Marcia our thoughts and prayers are with you. Ric will be missed.
