Hello

Rick's compassion for people in need was first discovered while he served in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam era.  Rick serves veterans (former County Veterans Service Officer) by assisting them with their VA benefits.  Following formal pastoral education, Rick was ordained for the Gospel ministry.  Currently he ministers to hospice patients as a Compassus Hospice Chaplain.  Rick says; “Fountains of Hope provides a means for me to reach people created in the image of God, who deserve drinkable water free from life threatening contamination and death causing diseases.  It’s a humane responsibility.”  During his spare time, Rick makes wood bowls for the FoH Gala and scroll saws Christ-centered “comfort crosses” for his hospice patients and friends.
