Rick definitely loved life and lived his life to the fullest.  Wherever Rick was you were sure to find fun, laughter and a good cocktail.  If Rick wasn’t driving one of his prized vehicles, you’d likely find him shining it up.  Rick was a master of the grill.  He loved spending time with his family especially spoiling his 5 grandkids.  Rick was an avid Tigers, Chiefs, Cardinals and Kentucky Wildcat fan who also enjoyed hunting and fishing.
