Rick was a resident of Shelton for many years. He enjoyed the company of old and new friends, spending his time bartending, fishing, claming, playing cards and attending club events.

He requested no services; but we can hear him say in that special way of his to all his friends, "just raise a glass, make a toast, and call it a day." He will be missed. Rick's ashes will be placed next to his father in Olalla, Wa.
