During his working career he worked for Chrysler in Fenton, MO and was a proud member of the United Auto Workers Local 110 and 136. In his spare time, he enjoyed 4-wheeling and watching Jeopardy. He also enjoyed spending time with his brother fishing and feeding the fish in the pond. But most of all, Rick loved spending time with family and friends on the farm. He was a kind and gentle man that loved caring for his family and the love they shared and many precious memories they created will forever live in their hearts.
A devoted and loving husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, great-uncle, cousin and treasured friend, he will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew and loved him.
