It is with great sadness that the family of Richard Cail announce his passing on the evening of September 10, 2025, at the age of 64 in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Rick, of Tell City, Indiana, was born on February 28, 1961, to Robert Buntin and Wilma (Moutschka) Cail, and his adoptive father, Morris Cail. He was the youngest of ten children: Diane Buntin, Teresa (Paul) Linne, Mark (Cheryl) Buntin, Tim (Sandy) Cail, Rob (Beci) Cail, Steven Cail, Mack (Brenda) Cail, Leland "Bud" Cail, and the late Lela Daugherty.
Rick was known for his love for his family and his excellent sense of humor. Many days were spent listening to music, singing Bob Seger's Turn the Page with his family, and adventuring across the country.
Rick was preceded in death by his parents.
Rick is survived by his wife of 20 years, Theresa Cail, his two children, Cortney (Justin) Roby, Cody (Samantha) Cail, three stepchildren Cassie (Paul) Parker, Katie (Nate)
Martin, and Nathan Parker, three grandchildren that he cherished Elaina Cail, Emilia Cail, and Raelynn Parker, several nieces and nephews, as well as many extended family members and friends.
We will all deeply miss the captain of our ship.
A visitation to celebrate Rick's life will take place on Saturday, October 18th, 2025, from noon to 3 p.m at Zoercher-Gillick Funeral Home.
