My friends call me Rick. I’m over 50, hence Rickety, meaning “Feeble in the joints; imperfect; weak; shaky” rather than one “affected with rickets.”
Born in England I became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as an adult. I emigrated in 1980 to Utah, marrying a beautiful woman from Brigham City in the Ogden Temple. We have five children and three grandchildren. I work as a software engineer for the Department of Defense and my wife as a systems analyst for L-3 Communications.
Above is our family photograph from November 2008. Left to right, standing: Derek (Sarah’s husband), Sarah holding Bryson, Rick (me), Jill, Jake. Daniel, Adelaide (Steven’s wife), Steven, Paul. Aurora and Cassandra, our granddaughters, are not shown. Our 2006 family photo, minus Adelaide, Bryson, Aurora, and Cassandra is here.
I can be contacted here. My conversion story is featured at Meet Mormon Missionaries and I am profiled at Mormon.org.

Very happy to see you have a big and lovely family. Thanks for your comment to macao life expectancy of older people. I am very grad that you share this information to your friends. Macao older people have a good place to live and no worry about their medication fees. After 65 years old, all things related to their health is free. I guess no place has this welfare. Most of the older adults I have met are happy to their government, maybe they enjoy the what the services they have. Nice to talk to you.
Cindy,
Macao attracted my attention because it has the highest life expectancy. Having free health insurance in your old age is indeed a very good thing. Is Macao’s health care different from the rest of China? Does the government make payments to old people similar to Social Security here in the U.S.?
