He was known to them as the funniest, coolest and goofiest Papaw or Pops. He was most definitely a jack of all trades who could fix anything and teach you how to do it! He also had a love for cowboy boots, hats and horses. The best memory he is leaving behind is the grandpa who built the Big Log Cabin on the hill!! He was also a member of the East Peoria American Legion where he was also a great musician playing the bass guitar in several bands. Rick worked for IMS Heating and Cooling for many years retiring in 2010. We will forever love and miss you always Papaw aka Pops, you made our childhoods awesome!! Cremation rites have been accorded. There will be no services at this time. Remmert Funeral Home in East Peoria is in charge of arrangements.
