Obituary

Chief married the love of his life, Tina (Schultz) on April 2, 1977. Chief loved working and teaching others how to build drag cars, he owned a '67 Pontiac Firebird (All Pontiac), the Radical Redskin, racing at Bryon Dragway, Union Grove and Cordova Dragway. Chief also loved to hunt, fish, and if y'all knew him, he was funny with his jokes and comeback answers. Chief loved the Bears, but not the Packers (a joke to Tina). Most of all, Rick loved his family and friends.
