Rick loved watching old movies, especially westerns with John Wayne. He enjoyed telling stories and jokes. He loved to laugh, but more so he loved to make others laugh. He wore many hats, but his favorite was being a family man. He was an amazing husband, father, bumpa, grandpa, and friend. He was loved and will be very much missed.
