Finally after a Dr. in Denver decided to test for a fairly odd disease, Rick was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease. He was bitten by a tick and never knew it. Because the disease is incurable and very disabling, Rick has not been able to come to the office in the last seven years and is doing what work he can from home.Because of his sickness, Rick has sold the business to his wife Terry. Terry is now the President of A-1 Barricade. Mike Bowman is running the day to day operations administratively and Jason Bowman is responsible for the field operations. Rick is continuing to provide advise and review of matters to help Terry and Mike. Rick was The first Coloradoan to certified as a Work site Traffic Supervisor by ATSSA and still holds the certification today. Rick has served as the Chapter President of ATSSA for over 8 years and been on the ATTSA Board for six years. Rick has served on the Board of Directors of Power Credit Union for 9 years and served as Chairman of the Board for 2 years. Rick completed the 1983 Leadership Pueblo program. Rick is still available by phone to anyone wishing to talk with him. His home phone number is 719-543-9719 and his cell number is 719-671-2199. Rick is continuing to seek treatment and has some good days and bad days, but is much better than a few months ago. Rick wishes to express his thanks to all of the wonderful customers, who he misses talking with on the jobs, for their expressions of kindness. |
