Rick was my swimming 'buddy' and friend the last few years. Tried to swim a 5k with him every year on his birthday. Glad we were able to celebrate together one last time this year with a fish sandwich at Wendy's. Loved his stories about Montana. I will miss him.
I am hoping you pushed the up button. I remember your famous line "Sweeting is such part sorrow."

I had the privilege to serve with Rick as an officer in Plentywood- I was green as one could be and he taught me many traits and skills that served me well in my career. Many hours were spent patrolling as he would tell stories, his love for his family and the outdoors. I am sure Rick told when he saw the Lords face” well done good and faithful servant“ I look forward to the time I get to see him again-May he Rest In Peace.
Enjoyed talking to Richard every Sunday at Church. He sat right behind my wife and I and he always had a story to share with me. He will be missed but I will see him again because Richard like myself had put his trust in Jesus for salvation.
Rick loved his family immensely, and shared the story of his daughter having a favorite toy horse. Christmas rolled around and there were few funds for gift-giving. When his daughter heard this, she wrapped up her toy horse and gave it to her sibling. This had touched him deeply.
Some of his favorite days, he said, were on the river with his son. In particular, he enjoyed the memory of a speed-canoe trip they made together.
He treasured every moment he spent with Scout as an infant and toddler, and was appreciative of the time they were able to share as she grew into a young lady.
Everyone who knew Richard knew that he loved the Lord, his family and the gifts offered by nature. He was a phenomenal athlete and an artistic and creative soul who will be greatly missed by those lucky enough to have called him friend.
May you all find peace.
I worked with Rick when he was with the. Plentywood Police Dept- and have many stories to share.
Rick was a true friend and I appreciate his love for the word of God. I am so thankful that our paths crossed for a few years as we enjoyed ministry and deer hunting together.
