Mass of Christian Burial was Friday, January 13, 2017 at St. Liborius Catholic Church, Polo. Burial followed at Mount Calvary Cemetery, Polo. Richard Allen Martinmaas was born November 1, 1956 in Faulkton to William and Wanelda (Miller) Martinmaas. He attended grade school at St. Liborius, Polo and graduated from Polo High school in 1976. He remained active in the family farm business, Martinmaas Dairy, while establishing his own farm north of Polo. He lived life as if every day was his last. He said his daily prayers with the sunrise and the sunset. His motto was "Work hard, play harder", and like his brother Lon lived by the motto "Every day is a good day, some days are better". He loved the outdoors, especially hunting. All that heard or witnessed the legendary stories would know him better as Ricky Crocket. He was the man, the myth, the legend! He was a beloved friend of all, and never shied in spending late nights "solving the world's problems". On February 13, 1988, Rick married Janet Ann Peterson at St. Liborius, Polo and through this union welcomed three children, his greatest gifts: Jessica, Scott, and Joni. Rick's stayed busy farming and hunting, but always made time for his children, attending games and coaching their various sport teams. Janet's favorite saying was "A family that prays together stays together", Rick always added "A family that works together stays together". Family bonding took place in the dairy barn and on their farm. Janet passed away in 2007. Rick was lucky enough to find love, not once but twice. Rick married Patty Rogers on July 15, 2016, witnessed by their children, families and many beloved friends in Miller, SD. They danced the night away under the stars in Orient, SD. Rick was truly one of a kind! He was known to many as "Uncle Rick" not just by his nieces and nephews but by his children's many friends. His big joyful smile, his sparkling blue eyes and contagious laugh would warm anyone's heart. He would do anything for the people he loved. With heavy hearts we will lay to rest our hero, beloved husband, father, grandpa, brother, uncle, and most importantly friend. Ricks memory will be cherished by his father, William "Bill" Martinmaas; wife, Patty Martinmaas of Miller; children; Jessica (Tim) Boldt of Volga, Scott Martinmaas of Bath, and Joni (Ben Johnson) Martinmaas of Alcester; siblings: Ray (Becky) Martinmaas, Orient, Randy (Jan) Martinmaas, Orient, Sandy (Larry) Aesoph, Highmore, Kathy (Gary) Remmers, Orient, Paulette (Charlie) Appelhof, Kranzburg, Lori (Mike) Kalkman, Miranda, Julie (Rod) Spartz, Kranzburg, Mike (Laura) Martinmaas, Orient, Mary Lynn (Tom) Lesselyoung, Redfield, and Brad (Shelly) Martinmaas, Orient; step-children: Matt (Nikki) Rogers of Ree Heights, Heather (Matt) Poindexter of Sioux Falls, and Dylan (Karren) Rogers of Ree Heights; grandchildren, Kennedi Janet Boldt, Madelynn, TJ and Rylee Rogers; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and other family members too numerous to count. He was welcomed into Heaven by his loving mother, Wanelda; brother Lonnie; his late wife, Janet; their infant children; three nieces, one nephew and one great nephew. Luce Funeral Home, Faulkton
