Richard Zimmerman Obituary

Rick Zimmerman, 67, passed away Father's Day weekend in Elk Grove. He was a loving, caring father to Alicia Moyer and husband Rich, Shannon Wable and husband John, loving step-father to Sarah Anderson and husband Slade, Mona Sindle and husband Tracy. He was a proud and loving grandpa to Kurt and Jake Moyer and Rhea and Shelby Sindle. He graduated from Mira Loma High School in Sacramento, he was a Vietnam vet, retired from working over 35 years at the phone company, the most generous man with a big heart and the best friend and neighbor anyone could ask for. To know Rick was to love him! He will be dearly missed by all his loving family and friends! At his request, no services will be held.

Sheri and I were saddened to hear of the untimely passing of Rick. He was a good man who, among many other things, got us involved with the Elks organization. We'd drifted apart but Rick and Hattie are fondly remembered. Rest in peace.
