Rick will be sadly missed by his many friends and family. Rick took great pride in his community sharing his love for cooking with his well known catering service Rick’s Ole Tyme Barbie -Q. His generosity to help those in need was well known to the Niagara Area.

Rick was a positive influence, very proud of his family and was loved and respected by all who knew him.
