His passion was to dutch oven cook, and was always wowing crowds with is great beans. Rick loved to work on, ride, and polish up his Harley. You would often see him and Sue with their hair blowing in the wind riding around town. He looked forward to the weekends he could take off with his son and ride. You could never find Rick just sitting still, he had to be working on a project.

He started his work as a parts man for many different truck shops in the valley and, was currently working at Smith Power Products as a Parts Manager and will be greatly missed by all who worked with him. Rick's heart was always bigger than his body and he left a smile on everyone's face that he came in contact with.
