Rick was born February 17, 1944, in Chicago, IL and passed away January 30, 2022, in Leesville, LA at the age of 77.

Rick lived all over the world – Korea, Germany, Taiwan, California, Illinois, Texas, and Georgia, but he chose to put down roots here in Leesville when he retired. He loved his friends fiercely, his family even more. He was a grandfather who loved to spoil the kids, a dad who taught life lessons you didn’t know you needed yet, and a husband who cherished his wife above all else.
