Outside of his professional life, Rick had a deep love for spending time at the beach and with his children. He enjoyed fishing and often shared this passion with friends and family.

Rick is survived by his two loving children: Samantha Detore and Nicholas Detore. He is preceded in death by his father: Richard “Dick” F. Detore. He is survived by his mother: Barbara A. Detore, and his siblings: Anthony Detore (Robyn), Joseph Detore, Sharon Detore, and Michael Detore (Jennifer), his nephew: Anthony Detore, and his niece: Madelyn Detore.
