He served in the military for 27 years which included 6 tours of duty including Somalia, Bosnia twice, and 3 times to Afghanistan. He was proud to be a member of 3RCR, the Canadian Airborne Regiment, and the Canadian Military Parachute Team the Skyhawks.
Rikk enjoyed making many friends throughout his life and military career.
