Pops loved country music and loved to dance. One day he went to a dance and he could not keep his eyes off a beautiful slender woman, her name was Susan, he called her Susie. To which he married on January 11, 1992 in Reno, Nevada.

Rick was loved by all that were fortunate to have known him. He loved to watch his western movies, staying up to date on his politics, and listening to his country music, but most of all just staying home and enjoying the serenity of the mountains. He liked siting outside in the evenings with his wife and watching the falling stars. Spending time with his four-legged friend Jordan.
