He was also a cement mason and bridge builder throughout the state. He enjoyed sharing his knowledge and skills with friends and family.

Rick loved being in the mountains, hunting, fishing and four-wheeling. He especially enjoyed going to his property in Circleville and visiting with his friends there. He deeply loved his family and always enjoyed being with all of them whenever possible.  He was proud of serving in the Army and being a Vietnam veteran.
