He then moved to Fort Worth, Texas in 1986 working in the retail sector until he was recruited to Radio Shack, where he served as a Senior Vice President, retiring in 2005.

Rick loved traveling, food and drink, and sports, but most of all enjoyed spending time with his family. He is survived by his wife Tish, who were married 52 years, his children Brigitte, Christy, and Scott, and his grandchildren Becca, Theodore, Camille, Penelope, and Elise.
