Publish in a newspaper
Rick was a proud graduate of St. Andrews School class of 1974 and Cathedral Prep class of 1978. He worked at Seaway Aluminum, Sanner Office Supply for the majority of his career, and most recently at Motel Six as a manager. Rick was a football coach for Sacred Heart and St. Andrew's where he was a member of the Athletic Association. Rick was also a member of Siebenbuerger Club, Polish Falcons, and a lifetime member of Cascade Club. He was an avid Indianapolis Colts and Notre Dame football fan. He loved playing piano, taking care of his garden, attending the Blues and Jazz Fest, reading, and playing horseshoes. Most importantly, Rick loved spending time with his family and friends.
Rick is survived by his daughters, Nicole Moore (Montrell), Katelin Onslow (Fiance, Michael Palmeri) and Allison Onslow and their mother, Patty Onslow, his beloved dog, Lucy, grandsons, Jalen Scott and Jayson Mercedes, brother, Ronald Onslow (Margie), and sisters, Denise Nemenz (Thomas) and Jennifer Hewitt (Jack). Many nieces, nephews, and cousins also survive.

My boyfriend Jason and I, Mona Gray became good friends with Rick, as the manager of Motel 6 in Erie since 2017. He took such great care of us as guests there on many weekends and holidays with our 2 small dogs, that we started to share personal stories with him. We even brought dog toys and gifts cards to him for his dog Lucy, who he loved dearly. We only found out today about Ricks passing away in January, which made us both very sad. We had called the hotel to ask for him about our upcoming reservation and talked to the new manager Rob. I told him that because of Rick, that I had sent dozens of people to stay at that hotel. I am hoping that his daughters get our condolences, even at this late date. And also his girlfriend if she was still in his life. I am an RN, and I had told Rick to call me if he ever needed my services. I live 2 hours away in Washington, Pa. but would have been able to be there for Rick, as a nurse and good friend! So sorry that I never heard anything, and couldn´t help.
