He attended Delaware Hayes High School and was a US Navy veteran. A member of Teamsters Local No 413, he worked as an over the road truck driver for Quality Carriers, dispatched out of Delaware.

He was most proud of his service to country, his son's, and being Grandpa Rick. A fan of NASCAR, he followed driver Mark Martin, faithfully attended the Indianapolis 500 and the Brown Jug activities during the Delaware County Fair. He was happiest riding his Harley Davidson Sportster or sitting around a campfire sharing stories and beverages with his many friends. Good hearted, he was helpful and a friend to everyone he came into contact with. Rick will be remembered for his big smile and kind heart. Survived by son, Richard D.
