Such a great man and family member! Will never forget his great sense of humor and laugh! He was definitely one of a kind and his advise and loving comments always put a smile on your face. I knew Rick as a family member when he was married to my first cousin Laura. My Father Arnold Rivera SR. Always made sure Rick felt at home when I was younger. My condolences go out to my family Chris, Nick, Laura, Kenny and my Tia Joyce and all those close to him. Rest in peace Mr Figgie see you soon! Love Kevin, Trisha and Natasha Rivera
