Richard Van Ostrand Jr. Obituary
Rick was a quiet person that kept to himself but always showed up when it was most important for his family. His talents were in bowling, baseball, hunting and fishing. He learned those from his father and made sure they were passed on to his sons.
Rick graduated from Ithaca High School and recently retired from Therm Inc after 40+ yrs.
He leaves behind his wife Heidi (St Clair) and most importantly his sons Zachery and Tyler (Victoria) and grandchildren Alden and Eva. He is also survived by several sister-in-laws & brothers-in-laws, nieces and nephews. Rick was predeceased by both his parents and his sister Diana Martak. And a brother-in-law, Larry Streeter
