Rick Senior's greatest passion in life was always his grandchildren. He loved watching them play all their sports and he never missed a game no matter how far away. Everyone knew him as Pop Pop at the games and he always showed up with his binoculars because he said "he didn't want to miss a thing". He became a loving great Pop Pop in 2025 with the birth of his great grand daughter Lily Mae. He is survived by his son Frederic S. Hoover,Jr. and his wife, Roxanne of Collegeville; and her two grandchildren, Alexa, and Olivia and now a grand daughter Lily Mae
