Vera Gable of Hocking County created two funds in memory of her son, Frederick M. “Rick” Ervin III. Rick grew up in Logan, Ohio, and developed a passion for television – specifically television engineering – as a preschooler. He pursued this passion throughout his youth, education, and career. Amassing a resume across the United States, Rick’s final role was as Chief Engineer for Sinclair Broadcast Group’s Columbus ABC 6 and Fox 28. These memorial funds honor Rick’s professionalism, dedication to his craft, and consideration for others
