He had worked for many years as a timber buyer for Western Tar Products and retired as a Director with the Indiana Department of Homeland Security. Rick was born November 10, 1949 in Terre Haute to Richard Card, Sr. and Margaret Finnerty Card.

Survivors include his daughter, Rachel Card Jackson (Shane); his son, Richard Card III; granddaughters, Harper and Chaney Jackson; and two brothers, Joseph B. Card (Carol Wetherell) and John F.

Rick was a graduate of Schulte High School and Indiana State University. He embraced his role as an active member of St. Joseph University Parish, especially his visits with Friar Mark Weaver, who will be pleased to know that Rick departed after receiving the last rites. Rick enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren as well as fishing and hunting, especially when joined by his son, Richard. He was very appreciative for the many years that Dr. Richard Mayrose has provided medical guidance as well as for the lifestyle tips generously given by William Olah and Robert Wright. Rick enjoyed the many hours spent with his many good friends including Bill Curley and Dan DeBard.

Rick left this world quietly and comfortably while surrounded by many family members. He will always be remembered for his quick wit and sense of humor.
