He received several awards at work for his accomplishments. He was an excellent cook and a man of many talents. There was nothing that he could not fix or repair. He loved rebuilding cars especially with his son, Blaise. Rick was great at reading people like a book. He always gave you his honest opinion on life. He had a strong love for his family and will be missed by them and many more. He loved his wife and appreciated her always standing by his side. The family would like to thank Culicchia Neurological Clinic, Old Gretna Pharmacy, Folse Pharmacy and Rose’s Pharmacy for their loving care over the years. In lieu of flowers, the family would like donations sent to Immaculate Conception Church in Richard J. Burleigh Sr.’s name or to the American Heart Association. Due to the current situation in our country, a Memorial Mass will be held at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Marrero, LA at a later date.
