Rick always had a smile for everyone he met. Beautiful blue eyes and signature wink that could get him out of any sticky situation. He had a love of hiking, camping and carving wood. Anything to do with the outdoors. He also loved J.R.R Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings. Neil Young was his hero. He had a huge heart and would help anyone that was in need. He loved spending time with family and friends, especially his grandbabies. He was also an amazing storyteller. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
