Then he moved on to owning a gold prospecting shop and finally a local pawn shop. He really enjoyed all the great people he met thru all of these businesses. <\/p>\n<p>Rick loved driving around in the mountains, hunting, camping, picking huckleberries, gold prospecting and teaching his daughter to shoot firearms. <\/p>\n<p>Rick is survived by his wife, Jana; daughter, Courtney both of Helena; mother, Irene Price of Buhl, Idaho; father, Fred (Pat) Radke of Helena; mother and father-in-law Al and Barbara Blom of Bozeman; sisters, Karen (Tom) Tenneson of East Helena, Cindy (Justin) Janicke of Kalispell; brothers, Randy (Heather) Radke of Belgrade, Kenny (Catherine) Radke of Helena and Jeff Radke of Helena; grandparents, Tony and Charlotte Petrosky of Clancy.
