An avid golfer, he belonged to the Safari Club and was involved in rating golf courses for the U.S. Golf Association throughout Western MA.
Rick enjoyed traveling, bowling, tending to his yard and was an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots. He was also an enthusiastic supporter and longtime season ticket holder of UMass basketball, football and hockey.
The family wishes to thank Father John Connors of St. Cecilia’s Church and special neighbors Ed and Jan Waniga for their help and support.
