I have many fond memories of my Uncle Rick. In my younger years, I remember having lunch at Dave and Busters and playing arcade games for hours at a time. My favorite thing to tell people about him is that he has an amazingly kind heart; spending years teaching emotionally challenged children. He was a patient and precise man and took those skills into one of his favorite passions of air flight. He was a wonderful pilot and shared my interest of riding motorcycles too. The thing I will miss most about uncle Rick will be his phone calls. It brought joy to my day to share my life with him, talking politics and worldly concerns. To all of his sisters, including my mother, my cousins and all of Richard's friends, I'm so sorry for your loss.
