I met Rick when I started on the Transformation Team in the fall of 2011. That Halloween I dressed as Wednesday Addams and from that day on Rick called me Wednesday. Shortly after I was invited to join the "lunch bunch" and was lucky to call Rick my friend. Even though I didn't know him for very long, I will never forget his kindness, his strong work ethic, and his sense of humor. He will be missed by me, by the "lunch bunch", and by the Transformation Team.

Extending my deepest sympathy to the family of Richard "Rick" Becnel. Rick supervised me for several years in St. James Parish OFS and I had the pleasure of supervising him the pass year in Baton Rouge. We shared fun times and I have missed him for the last 6 months.
