Rick had many interests as he was a very interesting guy. He loved music and singing karaoke. He was an artist and always very creative. Rick loved playing Texas Holdem, cribbage, cards, watching wheel-of-fortune, playing pool and being outdoors.
He could do almost anything with his hands. He roofed houses, hung sheetrock, worked for the railroad, was really a jack of all trades. He had a wonderful sense of humor and a smile that could light up the room. He will be very missed by all who knew and loved him.
