Support for Rick Pianca and Family

For those that knew Rick, it was evident that he always thought of everyone else before himself. Now it’s our time to help his family with the life flight helicopter expenses, mounting medical bills, and funeral costs. Rick demonstrated incredible strength and amazed his health care team as he battled COVID while on life support (mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment) in the intensive care unit for a total of 94 hospital days.  Even during these times, he still consistently made sure to ask about others before himself and bring joy to all those around him. Sadly, he passed away November 11th surrounded by his family.  He will be dearly missed by so many.

Rick was a family man. Whether sitting around a campfire or grilling around the pool, his greatest enjoyment came from being surrounded by family and friends. He was always the perfect host with a joke or story to tell. Rick loved to travel and had a passion for Disney (a.k.a. Mr. Disney!). Family and friends knew to reach out before a vacation so Rick could give them his tips and tricks. He would personalize their itinerary to make sure everyone had the best experience possible. He truly loved taking care of everyone else.  

Rick worked for Altorfer, Inc for 37 years. He always considered his customers and co-workers as some of his closest friends.

Private services will take place with a funeral mass celebrated at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church and burial in Mt. Calvary Cemetery, Davenport on November 16, 2020.
