Richard Pritchett Obituary
53, was taken from this Earth to soar with Angels above on April 16, 2013, in Grangeville, ID.
Rick was born Aug. 8, 1959 in Auburn, CA. He was raised in Rio Oso, CA where he attended Browns Elementary School and East Nicolaus High School, graduating in 1977. After High School, Rick was employed as a mechanic for Van Dykes Rice Dryer in Pleasant Grove, Grangeville Air Service and most recently with Bell Equipment in Grangeville, ID.
Rick enjoyed life to the fullest, and if you heard him laugh it would make you smile. Rick enjoyed sports, especially his beloved team, the San Francisco Giants. He also enjoyed fishing with his best friend Jake on the rivers in California.
To know Rick would mean a smile in your life.
He is survived by his parents, Pat and Roy Williams of Rio Oso; sister, Kellie McCullough (Roland), of Yuba City; long time companion, Shirley Hill, of Grangeville; niece, Erin Pace (Justin); and nephew, David McCullough (Maggie), of Olivehurst; aunt, Juanita Mascaro, of Rio Oso, and many loving cousins and friends.

I am so sad to hear of Ricky's passing. I haven't seen him since I moved from Nicolaus in the early 90's, but I will never forget his laugh and smile! He always seemed so happy and content! I know this is a sad time for all of his family and friends, but please know that we will never forget him or how he touched our lives! We had a lot of good times and he will be missed by all of us!

To Rick's family,
I was so sorry to hear about Rick's passing. In deed, he was much too young. I remember Rick as a little kid and as cousins/family of the Mascaro's. Recently I was told he lived in Grangeville, Idaho -- since my son/family moved up there last year, I was hoping they would meet/hook up, I think they would have made good friends with common hobbies (fishing, etc), but now, sadly that will never happen. We happened to be in Grangeville when Rick passed, but we weren't aware of it at the time. It's strange how people's paths cross in life, and in some cases, how close they come yet don't quite make it. I know Rick was loved dearly by my cousin Jake (Clarence) and will be missed by so many family/friends esp from the Nicolaus area alone!
With deepest sympathy,
Cherlyn (Schwall) Thomas
