Rick had many talents and a wealth of life experiences. He was a soldier, an MP, a taxi driver, a college grad, a video expert, a successful salesperson, a father, a grandfather, and a husband. Rick was not a shy man, and he did not hold back his opinions, many of which I agreed with. Kelly Herring (Annette Uhrick's husband)
