Rick and Linda married in California in 1987, where he spent several years honing his expertise in residential real estate law.

Throughout the years, he worked with a multitude of clients and families in the Omaha area, many of whom became dear friends. Rick later went on to attend several log home building schools focused on the handcrafted style. Rick was a current board member of the International Log Builders Association, a "great group of guys" he held in high regard. Surviving Rick are his wife Linda C. Granger, sons Chris Hall of Juneau, AK., and David Hall of Dallas TX., sisters Cindy (Joe) Burns of Burbank, CA, and Sandy (Jim) Blasko of Phoenix, AZ., Aunt Da, 3 grandchildren Nicole, Justin, Allison, niece Brooke, nephews Jared, Ken, Vincent and Eric and many dear cousins.
