He was born December 8, 1949, in Muncie, the son of Raymond and Verda (Hawke) Carpenter. Rick graduated from Wes-Del High School in 1968, where he played basketball and track.

Rick will visit the Elks for a final farewell (drive-thru) at 10:00 am Monday, November 9, 2020, at Muncie Elks Lodge,909 N. County Road 500 West, Muncie.
The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to Dr. Mehta and the nurses in CIC at I.U. Health Ball Memorial Hospital.
