After graduation, he joined the family-owned company, Krawietz Aerial Photography, where he remained until he retired in 2019. He married Susan Davis on June 4, 1983. Together they had two children.
Rick will be remembered for his sense of humor, intelligence, generosity, and friendliness.

Rick was a true “foodie,” always experimenting with recipes and seeking out new and exciting places to eat. He could often be found enjoying a cigar on the deck while listening to selections of his favorite music.
