Rick was my go-to guy when I was the production leader of Poly E over ten years ago. He gave his heart and soul to that plant, and i would have cloned him if i could. He taught me a lot about leadership. Too soon this beautiful man was taken from this earth... LOVE you Rick.
Ricky and I were the 2 middle children. We were the ones that were the risk takers/daredevils. The only ones that got in trouble with our parents. We both liked the outdoors. When we got older ...Ricky even though he was younger than me was actually like a Big Brother. I could always depend on him to help me with whatever I needed. He would Always research for me to help me buy things. I valued his opinion very much. My favorite time of year was with the family at Holiday gatherings. You put my 2 brothers together and u would laugh until you cried. At Christmas he enjoyed the Rice Krispie treats I made. I think of how he loved stuffed artichokes and muffulettas and his giant cups of strong coffee among other great food. When he retired it was suppose to be a new beginning of his life spending time with his family and boating. Instead he was at the Doctors appointments and treatments. Ricky was a fighter and never lost his faith or trust in God. I thank God for giving him to us for awhile but it was God’s will to call him back home. We will all miss him and he will live in our hearts forever. Love u very much my brother.
Although we only met Rick and Joan a few short years ago, we always enjoy their company and conversation during holiday gatherings at Brenda and Barry's home. Rick was always nice to talk with and had a great wit about him! We have kept Rick in our thoughts and prayers during his illness and know that he is at peace with the Lord. Our saddest and deepest condolences are with Joan and the entire Carrone family.
It has been our privilege to get to know Rick as a brother in Christ and as a member of our church and Connect group. He has been an inspiration, always full of the Lord's joy even when we knew he was struggling with his health. Joan , we love you and send our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Our prayers will continue to be with you during your time of grief. We can just see Rick now, wrapped in the loving arms of Jesus. Tom and Brenda Callicutt
I was fortunate enough to work with Rick for 20+ years. The last six years before he retired I was blessed to work in the office next to him and during that time I really got to know Rick. He was an honest man with great knowledge, witty, humble, and had a great sense of humor. He would frequently put others first and push his work aside to help and mentor others. Rick and I spend many late evenings at work together talking and sharing experiences. We would talk late into the evening to the point that we were the only two left in the building. With his wit and sense of humor, he quickly dubbed us "The Misfits". Misfit #1 and Misfit #2. One topic that Rick was sure to talk about every evening was his family. It was evident to me that Rick loved very much and was very proud of Joan, their children, and his grandkids. When he retired, the work days became a little longer, the meetings became less enjoyable, and the hallway just wasn't the same. Rick brought joy and laughter into our lives and we are all better because of him.
We love you Rick, you will be missed.
