Those who knew Rick will best remember him for his unique ability to make anyone laugh in any situation, his compassion toward others in times of need, being the emotional support and rock for his family, and his appreciation for the little things like old family recipes made by his mother, wife, or daughter, playing video games with his son, and gardening with his wife.
He was always willing to try something new and enjoyed going to concerts and other events with his children. He was loved completely and will be deeply missed.
