Richard Solesky

We celebrate the life of a man whose hands were rarely still and whose heart was always full.

Whether Rick was on the golf course chasing the perfect shot or in his workshop building something from the ground up, he found joy in creating, improving, and sharing his passions with those around him. Rick understood that both golf and building required patience, determination, and a willingness to keep going even when things didn’t go as planned—qualities he carried throughout his life.

He built more than projects and structures; he built memories, friendships, and a family who loved him deeply. The lessons he taught, the laughter he shared, and the example he set will continue to guide us for years to come.

Like a well-played round of golf, his journey had its challenges and triumphs, but he approached each day with strength, perseverance, and gratitude. The foundations he built in the lives of others are strong and lasting.

Though we will miss seeing him on the course and hearing the sounds of his latest project taking shape, his legacy lives on in every life he touched.
May he now find endless fairways, perfect greens, and the peace he so richly deserves.

          Let's share these memories with a light lunch on June 28th 2026 from 12-2:30 p.m.
