Husband of Claire E. Hack, father of Will Hack (Corinne Char) and Autumn Hack, grandfather of Richard Mendel E. Hack, brother of Karen (Larry) Melnick and Steven Jay Hack, son of the late Wilbert S. Hack and the late Claire Sue Cohen Hack.
Rick was loved by family, friends, co-workers and patients for his kindness. He was calm and patient, always ready to help. He was a sports fan, but his true passion was spending time with family and friends. His sense of humor and his “find a solution” attitude were evident throughout his life, but especially during his long cancer journey. He remained grateful and kind, befriending his medical team and caregivers, learning their names and family and stories. He will be greatly missed.
Services will be held August 4 at 10am at Congregation B'nai Amoona, 324 S. Mason Rd. in Creve Coeur. No visitation prior to service. Interment at Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery in Chesterfield to follow. In lieu of flowers, contributions requested to the American Cancer Society or the Anti-Defamation League.
