Born in Chelsea and raised in Saugus, Massachusetts, Rick was a lifelong Boston sports fan, an impressive athlete, and a force of nature who didn’t believe in sitting still. An avid runner, hiker, and biker, he ran the Boston Marathon twice and was honored to carry the Olympic Torch for the 2002 Winter Games. His work ethic also defined his 30-year career as General Manager of Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast, where he led a team that earned national recognition for its exceptional quality.
Whether he was golfing, landscaping, or building his next project, he brought a contagious energy to everything he did. Rick didn’t just live life — he charged through it, creating adventure, connection, and laughter along the way. He will be remembered for his strength and optimism, and missed as a loving father, devoted son, and cherished friend and family member.
