I was shocked to hear of the passing of Rick. I worked with Rick at the Indiana County Chamber of Commerce and Indiana County Development in Indiana, PA. Rick was an intelligent person who had so many talents. He was a wonderful mentor and friend who I will miss greatly. I look forward to seeing Rick again in the land where we will never grow old. Rest in peace dear friend. Carson Greene, Jr.

Rick Michael was the Director of the Volusia County Economic Development department (now a division) when he hired me in August 2008. Rick departed only 6 months later but he had created for me the opportunity for 10 years of public service in the community where my family lived, learned, worked and played.
Rick had a unique ability to see opportunity where most believed that none existed and he became the architect of numerous ground breaking initiatives (pun intended). His creative solutions to financial challenges generated successes that, in 2021, continue to contribute to the quality of life & commercial tax base in our east central Florida county.
His contributions continue to be under appreciated by many but he will be missed by those who took the time to appreciate his keen intellect, his warm heart and his desire to serve! My deepest condolences to his daughter, his son and his grandchildren. VR, Rob Ehrhardt
