People who knew Rick knew that his greatest love was fishing. He also could be found in front of the TV watching westerns, his favorite was The Rifleman. He loved a really good steak, occasionally he would settle for salmon patties and pork and beans. He was a simple, laid back man that didn’t require much from life; he just enjoyed what God had given him; his family. He wasn’t perfect, but he was forgiven. He took pride in his appearance by dressing in matching attire sporting his suspenders, Cowboys Football attire and always had on his Calvin Klein cologne. The reason he did this was because he had a roving eye for any good looking woman. This was evident in his favorite song, “My Mamma was a Ho my Daddy was a Pimp”. He loved his kids and grandkids. He was preceded in death by his son Richard “Ricky” Hershel Houlton, and granddaughter Brandye Sha’Maire East, and sister in-law Jodi Houlton.
