Rick retired from TJ Hale in carpentry. He was an incredibly talented woodworker, leaving behind a lasting impression on those who had the pleasure of seeing his work. He was passionate about music. He spent his younger years singing in bands. He eventually started his own karaoke business, where he could share that passion with others. Rick will be remembered for his beautiful voice, and bringing music and joy to some of life's special celebrations. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, cooking, and golfing. But above all, he cherished the time he spent with family. His granddaughters held a particularly special place in his heart, and making memories with them brought him great joy. Rick will be remembered with love by his family and all who knew him.
