Rick graduated from Okanogan High School in 1977.  During his school years, he worked for his dad on his butcher truck.  He went on to body and fender school in Spokane, WA.  After school, he opened a body shop in Brewster, WA, where he met his now wife, Turesa, and the two moved to Colville.  Together, they started their own butcher business and raised four children.  They spent 36 years working together and loving each other.

Rick never met a stranger.  Everyone he came in contact with had to cancel their afternoon plans, because he sure loved to talk!  He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and his family, riding motorcycles, taking his yearly trip with his wife, and his dear friends, Ron and Belinda.

He will live on in the lives of his friends and family that love him so very much.
