FAMILY TRIBUTE

Rick was a 31 year Dedicated Teamster at Local 299. He completed two tours in the US army, and spent a year and a half in Vietnam from 1961 to 1967. Rick was always willing to give a helping hand, loved to make everyone laugh, was liked or loved by many and loyal to a fault. He stood up for his beliefs in family, America, friends and the union. He enjoyed fishing, bowling, playing pool, music, spending time with family and having a few drinks with friends and family. Rick probably would like to have been remembered most for always being there for all of his family and friends. We will always remember Rick for his great sense of humor, living life on his own terms, and always being there for us. If you were a friend you were family. He is loved by many and all who knew him will miss him dearly. Rest in Peace.
