Didnt know Rick,but my condolences to his family.Amen to the stress reminder-its been 4 yrs. already since I was looking at my good friend Dan Gallagher lying dead on the SFP floor at DC COOK. He had just called me 10 mins.prior to say how happy he was that the Master-Lee refuelers didnt invite the HP's out for pizza at their trailer. He was an excellent tech.,had a great sense of humor and was one of the nicest guys I ever knew,and there is no doubt in my mind that the local nuclear bureaucracy played a major part in his demise.Do what cha gotta do when the meter is in your hand,and then leave it all behind at the turnstile,....it just dont matter- how radiation interacts with matter.
