He went back to school at the Fox Valley Technical College while working at Argus Technical Services. He also worked as an independent contractor for Northwire. Then he was given the opportunity to work for Bemis Co., and there, he worked with the finest group of people who supported him throughout his illness with cancer. Thank you! He will really miss all of you! He takes with him great memories of being outdoors, hunting, camping, golfing, playing cribbage, and Sheepshead. He loved bowling, foosball, playing softball for Chief Tree Service, Mr. Biggs, and Evil Roy Slades. Rick also enjoyed the many friends he made as a member of Trinity Lutheran Church where he served on the Board of Properties and as an usher. Rick had a personality that you were drawn to, and he could always make you smile, whether he was getting the whole crowd singing along to Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash or by proudly displaying who the strikeout president was on his Special K softball sign. Rick also never missed a packer game or any moments to lovingly embarrass his children. WOO!!!WOO!!!WOO!!!So if you picture yourself knowing Rick through any of these memories, he wanted to thank you for being his friend.
