"We will always carry your memory in our hearts. I will always love you." -Connie

My condolences to you Connie. Although I never met you, I knew Rick for many years as a fellow driver. From his years at Hiway Service to hearing and talking to Rick and Ralph on the CB radio in their cow hauling days. Rick was always pleasant and easy to talk to. Rest in Peace Rick until we meet again. Pete Dyck

Connie and Family. I am so sorry for your loss. When I hear, or think of the name Rick French, I remember a dedicated, committed, and extremely passionate operator of whatever truck or vehicle he was driving. He was also "The Best" delivery truck driver I worked with. I remember customers asking especially to have Rick pick up or deliver their unit. Rick would go as far as making sure the tractor or combine was delivered with as little dust or road grime, so that "he" may show the respect and responsibility he had for the owners equipment. I will miss seeing Rick and chatting with him. Please accept my condolences and prayers in your time of loss. We now must treasure the memories we collected--Until we meet again Rick. Rest In Peace Boyd Folden and Family.
