He loved doing anything and everything with his family - especially his grandchildren, and spending time with friends. Rick had a passion for the outdoors - fishing, hiking, and experiencing the beauty of nature. He could be found in so many places…. spending time at his cabin in Arnold, vacationing on Maui, fishing or skiing on the lake, swimming and bbq’ing in the backyard, eating a corndog in Disneyland, or flying kites and manning lemon stands with his grandkids. Rick was loved by many, and will always be remembered for his sense of humor, being an epic conversationalist, and enjoying the company of friends and strangers alike. He was so loved and will be greatly missed.
