Rick is survived by his devoted wife, Julie (Clow) Jordan; his daughters, Emily Jordan and her husband Aaron, Abby Jordan, and son Joshua Jordan and his wife Becca; four grandchildren, Adalyn, Taylor, Natalie, and Lani, who brought much light into his world; three sisters, Judy Brown and her husband Cubby, Linda Ronnquist and husband Malcolm, Joanne Hamilton and husband Ron; sisters-in-law Brenda Jordan and Jenny Gott and husband Peter; special friends, Kenny and Diny Jordan; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, brother, Gregg Jordan; nephew Timothy Jordan; and special friend Dwight Sargent.
A celebration of Rick’s life will be held at the Eastbrook Community Building in Eastbrook on April 30, 2022, from 11:30 AM to 2PM. Interment will be overlooking the blueberry fields at the Hillside Cemetery in Waltham.

I only hope that Rick knew how much I admired and loved him. He and the family welcomed me with open arms when I became a part of the family. He was one of the strongest men I had ever met, even when I knew he wasn’t feeling great. His family was his greatest source of pride and joy. You will be missed…
Judy and Joanne,
