He will be missed for his easy wit and sense of humor; his love of the outdoors, manifested most recently in a love of motorcycles; his warm heart and generosity toward both longtime friends and perfect strangers; and, above all, his sincere interest inthe people around him, regardless of status or creed-from the children he helped during his 13 years as a social worker in Knox County, KY, to the people he met during his subsequent life as entrepreneur, tavern owner, and maverick.Rick's friends and family gathered to celebrate his life at a tavern in Pendleton, SC, on January 19.Rick was allergic to flowers.
