My deepest condolences to Rick's family, friends and colleagues. I was a graduate student with Rick at McMaster University. Sadly, we went on our separate career paths, which did not cross until this morning (Dec 9/21). I reflect on Rick's passion for geology, his dry sense of humour, and his special way of letting me know I was on the wrong path - "you know Andy, there may be other ways to explain what you see". While saddened by Rick's passing, I am smiling as I watch the slide show because I see Rick lead a full life as a family person and through his impressive geological career. We all have a purpose during our time on Earth. I am pleased to see that Rick contributed to making the world a better place, Until we meet again, Andy Fyon (Ottawa, Ontario).
