A huge sports fan, Rick shot pool and played softball in his younger days. An avid Packers, Bucks, and Brewers fan, he enjoyed spending time with his dad Clarence and watching the games together. Lately he took part in Fantasy Football Leagues and won the championship many times.
Rick and his mother Karen lived together for many years, and they had a special bond.
