His family will miss his stories and appreciation for home cooked meals. Robert and his wife have six children who treasured their “Papaw” dearly. Their fondest memories with Rick are the visits to the family home, picking tomatoes and vegetables from the garden, and swinging on the playset that Rick and Carol maintained just for those occasions.
