Quoting a friend, “Rick was always fixing the little parts that made everything work, with not only the cars and houses, but with little issues that make that made his/our friends “tick.” His knowledge and love of old cars was never ending and he enjoyed going to several car shows throughout the years. He also loved to travel and enjoyed Italy, Cuba and the Panama Canal to name a few. He will be missed by many, his stories will be told for a long time.
