Lancaster March 12, 2003. He was born with a serious heart defect and had 
many illnesses, but was funny and cheerful. He adored his wife of 37 years, 
Patricia and his five children, 10 grandchildren and five great-
grandchildren. He was a very talented musician who played professionally 
for years. He also sold real estate and worked for Mojave Unified School 
District. He received his honorable discharge from the U.S. Army and 
moved to California, buying his first home in California City in August of 
1959 and never left here again. 
While in the army Rick played with three different marching bands and 
one orchestra and received recommendations for his contributions.
