Rick was a well-loved member of the Greenville community where he spent years coaching his daughters softball teams, cheering on his son in wrestling matches, and coaching women’s softball. He loved his family and made a point to make sure the entire family gathered together for their annual Christmas Party even after his mother had passed away. Rick enjoyed weekly board games with his brothers, going to the casino, and meals at Big Boy. His positive spirit and smile touched many lives and he will be greatly missed.
