Rick is also survived by his sister Karen Camara and her sons Kevin and Jason Camara. Rick also survived by his two beloved dogs Pepper and Sophie.

Rick was born on July 2, 1944, to Harold Henry Cuslidge and Katheryn Vivian DeMartini. Rick graduated from Franklin High School in 1962, and remained active on their class reunion committee. Rick and Gayle married on July 21, 1973, and happily celebrated their 50 year anniversary together this year! Rick worked locally for TriValley Growers, Heinz, and later in his career selling conveyor belts in the western region for Amerall Beltech. Rick was an active member of the Italian Athletic Club (IAC) of Stockton and a Patriot-Life Member of the NRA.

Rick was a proud father, loving husband, and active fisherman. He loved Sunday family dinner, eating lunch at IAC, and telling stories (some true, some ?). Rick almost never missed his weekly lunches and dinners with friends, and was often kidding and making up funny names for his family and friends. In general - Rick loved life!

A funeral is scheduled for Sunday September 10, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. at DeYoung Memorial Chapel at 601 N. California Street, Stockton CA 95202, with a reception to follow at the Italian Athletic Club of Stockton located at 3541 N. Cherryland Ave. Stockton, CA 95215.
