Rick’s passion for laying ceramic tiles made him a sought-after professional, and he worked with numerous area contractors and private homeowners, leaving a lasting imprint on countless homes and businesses.

Rick’s journey in his brother’s business wasn’t just about tiles; it was about building connections and leaving a legacy of craftsmanship. Over the years, he took the reins of Kolman Tile, steering it towards continued success and growth.

Rick will be fondly remembered as a dedicated professional, a skilled craftsman, and a loving brother. His impact on the community through his work will endure, and his memory will be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him, including his son, David, his brothers, Robert “Bob” and Kevin Kolman.
