Anyone who met Rick realized he was always in good spirits. He loved to give and never expected anything in return. The only time Rick would ever ask for anything would be when he wanted a burger and a coke, and his family was always eager to get him what he wanted. He never wanted anyone to worry about him, showing his selflessness. He was a fun and entertaining man; he beat to his own drum. Rick will always be loved and missed for his presence, as it was a gift everyone will truly miss him,,,
