Rick was a family man that loved to ride motorcycles and was an avid bowler. Last year, his wife, Patty, and he took their dream vacation to the Magic Kingdom with their grandchildren. His grandchildren were his life. Rick was a jokester, he was stubborn, and most of all, he was the life of the party.
