He was an avid sports fan and enjoyed rooting for the Miami Dolphins, NY Mets and various other NY teams. He spent many years working for Pepsi Cola and was retired at the time of his death. He enjoyed spending time in his community with his many friends, going for walks and swimming. He was very proud of his children and granddaughter and being a "Pop-Pop."

One of the nicest people you could ever meet, and would give the shirt off his back to help someone else. Life wasn't always the easiest for him. He went through many tough times, but always found a way to smile and look on the bright side. Known as a "jokester" to many, he definitely lit up a room and would want everyone to try and think of good time, or a good joke, when being remembered.

Services for Rick will be arranged privately with the family, in lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made in his name to St Judes. To leave regards for the family, please visit ALifeTribute.com
