Richard Alan Warrick was born in Boone on July 30, 1956, the son of Earl and Lulamae (Morton) Warrick.

Due to ill health, he retired June 8, 2007. Rich moved to Cresco in 2010, where he enjoyed the last several years with his niece, Missy and her family. 
In his early working years, Rich enjoyed playing slow pitch softball for the Fareway Stores team. He also enjoyed playing golf; watching Mike & Mike on ESPN; listening to classic rock music, especially the Doobie Bros.; classic cars, especially Chevelles; and visiting Estes Park, Colo., Silver Lake in Rochester, Minn., and various apple orchards in the fall. Rich loved watching reruns of ‘Cheers,’ and he was an avid Chicago Cubs and Iowa State Cyclones fan. He especially loved spending time with his family.
