Beloved brother, uncle, cousin, neighbor and friend to many. Rick’s humor was infectious. He was quick to crack a joke and always made sure those around him were laughing and smiling. His kindness and generosity were always present, especially in his kitchen. His love for cooking and baking and sharing everything with everyone was his trademark and passion. He was fun and lived his life to the fullest! Rest in peace Brillo, you were loved by many and will be dearly missed by all.
