He married Peggy Anderson in 1974 and they celebrated their 40th anniversary this July.

He was a fisherman, hunter, camper, motorcyclist, dive instructor, gun enthusiast, union member, and lover of dogs. He achieved his Master Captain's license after moving south and owned a trawler aptly named, "a dog's life", which is what boating life felt like to him. Rick and Peggy lived on their boat this past winter and had hoped to do The Great Loop someday. He made many special friends through parties, diving, boating, and motorcycling. He was preceded in death by his father, Roy and father-in-law, William Anderson. He is survived by his wife, Peggy; his mother, Margaret; aunts, Marilyn Bowman, Linda Guffey; uncles, James Rhodus (Janet), Wilbur Cross (Sue) and many cousins.
