Rick loved his family and friends and was always helping others the best he could. His son Scott was his pride and joy of his life. Loved watching the Cubs and Bears games. He always had a heart of gold and would make you laugh when he was just sitting there. His eyes would light up a room. And he would just make you feel like things would be ok and not to worry cuz things could be worse. He would always look for the positive things in life. Rick loved spending time with Me (his wife ) we did everything together even if it was to run for gas in the car. Loved to cook for others to make them happy whether it was a hot dog to a full Thanksgiving Dinner. And made sure everyone was happy.
