He served in the United States Marine Corp and was the owner of Galaxy Service.

Rich could always be found watching Packer Games on Sunday with his family and friends. He loved the outdoors, participating in activities such as hiking, Frisbee, and softball league. He was always the voice in the crowd to be heard! He cheered on his children, nieces, and nephews who competed in their high school sporting events for Oshkosh North and West High School. Rick was a selfless person, always giving what he had to help others. He also volunteered at the St. Vincent de Paul of Oshkosh. Rick will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
