The community is mourning the death of Rick Piercy, the founder of the Lewis Center for Educational Research and its flagship school, the Academy for Academic Excellence in Apple Valley. Lewis Center officials on Tuesday announced the death of Piercy, who many called a 'man of faith' and a 'visionary leader,' who served as a 'guiding light' to those who knew him. The 71-year-old Piercy died on Saturday morning, July 8 after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last winter, Lewis Center President/CEO Lisa Lamb told the Daily Press.
