Beyond his love for family, Rick had a deep passion for the water. He found joy and peace on Barnegat Bay, spending time with his cousin Pat Lauer, embracing the beauty and serenity of the sea. Rick's Passion for the water was not just a hobby, but way of life. For many years, he worked at the Forked River State Marina, where he found joy and fulfillment in his role. The marina wasn’t just a job for Rick. It was a place where he could immerse himself in his love for the water and share that enthusiasm with everyone he met.
He took immense pride in caring for the boats, the docks and the people who visited. Whether  helping someone new to boating or chatting with seasoned sailors, ricks warmth, knowledge, and love for the sea were evident to all. His dedication and hard work made him a beloved member of the marina community, and his absence will be deeply filled by colleagues and friends alike.
Rick's memory will live on in the heart of all who knew and loved him. His kindness, warmth, and adventurous spirit will never be forgotten.
