Remembering you today, dear Rick,
You were a great boss and a good human.  Thanks for all the opportunities you provided for me.

I miss talking to you, your raw sense of humor.  I just miss you 

Rick: You were my Good Friend for so many years. My life was so much better, because you were a part of it. It was an honor for me to be your Friend.  When we both married sisters from the same family (amazing women), we had even more in common. We shared the successes in our lives, as well as the challenges. I want you to know that for all times, you will be Loved, Remembered, and Honored.        REST IN PEACE, MY GOOD FRIEND.

Tio/Uncle Rick, your one of the nicest people i have met in my life. Everytime i saw you at family gatherings, you had a nice and kind smile. Because you were a nice, kind, and caring person. I witnessed how wonderful of a husband, father, and uncle you were. I want to also say that i am thankful for having an uncle like you! My family and me will cherish these wonderful memories of you.  You will always be in our hearts. We love you Tio Rick! Rest In Peace! 🙏🏼💖

Rick you were my mentor from day one when I started as a CBO at Tranqillity Elementary School District. You came out to my school district several times to teach me the skills for school budgeting and all facets of school business. 
I enjoyed your humor and your sharpness throughout all the years of working in school business. We go back to 1981. 
I enjoyed hearing about your family that you loved so much. So sad to know that you have left this earthly journey. Rest in everlasting peace my friend. Andie

Rick, when you came to work at FCOE, you were a great addition, a team worker, a terrific sounding board and a very good friend.  Your door was always open and we shared a lot of laughs amid the sometimes crazy times.  You were respected by your peers and willing to help anyone who needed help. I only regret not keeping in touch after retirement. You will be missed by all.  God bless you and give strength and comfort to your family.  Lettie

Rick you will be missed by all of us. Without really knowing me you helped me move from the Tower District to my home on Claremont. My sister, your fiancé at the time volunteered you. As we were trying to load all my belongings into the truck you stopped and looked at me. You stated you needed help and I agreed. So you called a buddy and he met us at my new home. Little did I know you were playing cupid! It worked, Ken and I became a couple and married four years later. You were a blessing to our family. You were always willing to lend a helping hand or the use of your truck to haul something. You gave out advice on different topics. You treated my sister like a queen. She was spoiled for sure. RIP my beloved brother in law, my friend. Want to share this quote: "At the end of life, what really matters is not what we bought but what we built; not what we got but what we shared; not our competence but our character; and not our success , but our significance. Live a life that matters. Live a life of love."

Rick Martin was a co-worker, animal lover and friend. He wore his Halo Café shirt on casual Fridays. I’ll never forget that. Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest and best memories. 
😔💔

You were loved, Rick. Jim Yovino’s and my prayers are with all of your other co-workers, family and friends who are grieving.

Rick, you're a very special person.  I'm fortunate to have known you for 24 years.  You're a great husband, dad, friend and brother in law. Always willing to lend a  hand.  You gave great advice.  I'll miss you immensely.  

Rick, you were a wonderful and caring man. I enjoyed talking to you and listening to your advise on all sorts of issues. I admired how you loved my parents and always attended events if it was them we were celebrating. You were an amazing husband to my sister and a fantastic  father to your three kids. My children and grandchildren admired you and would often seek your advise.  We will all miss you tremendously. 💖. Your sister in law Mary.
