Rick had a deep and enduring love for sailing, finding peace and happiness on the water in and around Sesuit Harbor. Whether gathered for holidays, sharing meals, or simply enjoying each other’s company, Rick valued nothing more than being surrounded by the people he loved. Rick was an avid Boston sports fan and was widely known among family and friends as one of the biggest Boston Celtics fans in New England.
