He was a 1971 graduate of Woodbridge Senior High School and spent most of his adult life living and working in the Northern Virginia area. Rick held a variety of jobs in his lifetime and was a skilled carpenter and salesman. Two of his proudest accomplishments were his participation and commitment to the Alcoholics

Also surviving are a brother Donald P. Marcopulos of Newport News and a sister Beverly Connor of Broad Run. In addition to his family, Rick leaves behind countless friends who became family.
