He was preceded in death by his parents Vincent and Theresa Wegienka, brother Michael Wegienka, and 2 grandchildren, Cassandra and Emilia Wegienka. Rick worked for Environ Inc for close to 30 years as a high mileage mechanic before it was closed. He then worked for Walmart as an associate in the sporting goods department for 2.5 years. He really enjoyed the interaction with people that working in the sporting goods afforded him, often going to "shop" on his days off just to visit and chat. Rick enjoyed fishing and hunting, but his real love was his motorcycle. His bike was his baby. He enjoyed riding here in Michigan, but really loved being able to haul his bike down to Virginia and ride with his brother-in-law Joe Rose and friends he made there. He will be missed by many. Cremation services have been afforded as per Rick's wishes and a memorial service will be held for close family and friends.
