Rick was a master electrician for 35 years owning and operating his own business, Beery Electric. He enjoyed the outdoors - gardening, walking, swimming in his pond, talking to his cows, riding his bike, floating the Marias Des Cygnes river, and fishing. Spending time with his grandchildren was a major joy in his life. He was a member of the Green Valley Baptist Church. He thoroughly enjoyed his bible study group and fellowship with his brothers and sisters in Christ. Rick"s biggest achievement by far was accepting Jesus as his Savior and coming to find the Lord our God. He has been through the Lord"s word cover to cover and over and over.
