Rick was born on September 21, 1954, and spent his childhood on Park Street in Shortsville, NY. Rick graduated from Red Jacket high school in 1973 where he met the love of his life, Kim and married in 1974. They had 53 wonderful years together; they were each other’s soul mates. Rick was an avid dragracer and loved everything with a motor; cars, snowmobiles, motorcycles, you name it he loved it. And he loved to tinker on them even more. Saturdays at the racetrack is where you could find him. Rick also loved to display his ’66 Pontiac GTO at Cruise Night at Wegmans. Rick was a guy’s guy; he had breakfast with his buddies every Saturday morning and met up with friends for coffee. He had countless trips to Carlisle, PA for car shows as well as an unforgettable trip for the Sema Car show in Las Vegas with his son Adam and brother Gary, his best buddies. Rick also enjoyed going to Americade for Bike Week in Old Forge. Rick was quick witted, had a humor and sarcasm like no other, a smile and laugh that would light up a room. He was a friend to all, and just a genuine nice guy. Rick worked at Mobil Chemical/Pactiv from 1973-2005 holding numerous titles throughout his time there. He then was Plant Manager at Sigma Stretch Film in Tulsa, Oklahoma where he and his wife lived for 12 years before retiring back to NY. In his retirement, Rick worked for NuWay Auto Parts part- time where he immediately made fast friends. Rick loved to work on his dragster that he shared with his son, ride his Harley – most of all he was a devoted husband and father. He will be sadly missed by all that knew him. He will be especially missed by his loving family. Rick’s family would like to express their profound gratitude to the Palliative Care Staff at Strong Memorial Hospital. Their heartfelt and loving care in his final days will be forever cherished.
