He was faithful to attend and participate every Monday night for over a decade. He learned all he could about three of his greatest loves, watches, guitars and cars, while he was on Earth and spent many an evening perusing eBay for his next great deal. Even in Ricks younger years, his father often used to comment that Rick was saving him into the poor house.He volunteered for several years with the American Heart Associations annual fundraiser.
