About | Rick had a passion for living and working on the coast. He loved fishing and spent many years working with local deep-sea fishermen. His love of the sea was shared by his family, leaving a lifetime of memories fishing in Onset Bay, the Canal and off the marshes of Main Street. He was a dedicated sports fan of the New England Patriots and the Boston Red Sox, and would always attend the famous Wareham/Bourne football game every Thanksgiving. Rick loved cooking from a very early age and began working in the kitchens of restaurants throughout the area, including many local seafood spots. He appreciated the creativity behind a tasty dish and fed friends and family with recipes filled with love. He fed his family with a lovingly created hot breakfast on weekday mornings before work and school. He would often surprise his wife and daughters with a gourmet meal awaiting them. He was a devoted father and husband and made each family occasion and holiday feel special. His child-like joy brought Christmas alive, and his love for others created beautiful memories that will stay alive in his family for years to come. Rick loved others with his whole heart and soul, and was a joy to spend time with, no matter the occasion. |
