Always fun loving Ricky was a guy who we all will miss.
Prayers go out to his loving family.
I’m sure he already has a fishing pole in his hand along with his Dad and Uncle Keetz.
RIP Ricky.

You are dearly missed by soo many. Now you can visit (walk, run, fly) everything and every place that you desire. God Speed Rick.
Joan Bulgrin says
Rick grew up with my son Dave.
In fact, their birthdays were only 3 days apart.
Rick did a lot of hunting and fishing with my husband Keetz (Rick’s uncle) along with my son Dave.
He spent many days with us. He was much loved.

I worked with Rick at the water department. Rick came from Rohner asphalt where he pick axed all day long he had sheer brute strength. He could pick up things that it would take two men to pick up. He was one of the strongest men I have ever seen. I had a lot of fun working with Rick. One day he had called in sick (not like him)I was worried about him only to find him waist deep in the Root river fly fishing LOL rest in peace my friend and fish on!

So sorry to hear about your family’s loss. Rick was a fun and personable person that I had the pleasure to meet on several occasions, and enjoyed his company.
Rest in Heaven Rick, and may God bless your family during the grieving process…
