Rick Hambrock Obituary
Rick was born at Jay County Hospital on September 29, 1954 to Charles Angus and Arlene Marie (Bost) Hambrock. He graduated in 1972 from Redkey High School, although he attended Gov. I.P. Gray School for his first five years of education. Rick was the vocalist in many local bands for over 30 years as well as a founding member and office manager for the Jay County Genealogy Society.
In his teen years, he organized a men's softball team, got permission to use the old Gov. I.P. Gray School property and organized the creation of a ball diamond, backstop and bleachers.
He is survived by his wife Carrie, children Cassie Aly and Mustafa (wife Tiffany nee Faulker) Aly, grandchildren, Layliana and Juhlaya Eldeeb, Jett Hunt and Sydney Aly, brother James "Jim" Hambrock, sister Cathy (Jim) Garringer, aunt Wanda (Bost) Branscum, many nieces, nephews, cousins and special grandniece Rylee Jo.
He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Robert "Bob" Hambrock and Thomas "Tom" Hambrock and sister Sue Garinger.
Rick will be missed by his family, friends, fans and beloved dog Buster.
