About	Rick, a beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully in his home March 21, 2018. He was born on May 16, 1947, in St. Helena, California. Rick was a specialist in the field of real estate, working as an appraiser and brokering his own real estate company. He was an inspiration in many ways. He enjoyed pairing his award winning wines, from his own vineyard, and his substancial cellar with his gourmet cooking. As an avid Ham Radio Operator, he enjoyed initiating contacts and participating in worldwide contesting. He also took pleasure in building and flying RC planes with his grandchildren. Rick is survived by his wife Ingrid Fritsch Pierson, daughter Annette Pierson Smith, son Jason Pierson, and daughter in-law Jenny Snider Pierson along with grandchildren Brandon Pierson, Alexandra Pierson, Nathaniel Smith, Caleb Smith, Hannah Smith, and mother in-law Cornelia Fritsch. Rick’s easy sense of humor and gentle soul will be greatly missed by his family and friends, but most of all by his wife of nearly 51 years, Ingrid.
