Richard A. Haselmayer, 49, of North Syracuse, passed away at his home due to natural causes.

Ricky was first and foremost a family man. His contributions to the family business, The Spinning Wheel Restaurant, helped it to grow and flourish.

Rick had a heart for everyone. He would always say he had a big heart, “no really, I have an enlarged heart.”

He loved his fishing and hunting “buddies” like family, especially his sidekick, Tucker.

He was an active member of Abundant Life Christian Center. He offered his time ushering, as well as working with In My Father’s Kitchen.

Everyone was family to Ricky. He was “favorite Uncle Rick” to more nieces and nephews than he could count, but everyone thought they were “his favorite.” (And they were)

God allowed him to be grandpa, which was the highlight of his life. His grand babies would light up when they heard his voice, and he would light up at the thought of them.

His heartfelt prayers were always for his family and friends to know Jesus.

Born on May 3, 1968: survived by his loving parents, Robert and Nancy (Williams) Haselmayer; his soulmate and wife, Beth (Gladle) Haselmayer; daughters, Jessica (CJ) Schlemmer, Cortney (Brandon) Ervin and Rachel (Danny) Reyes; grandson, Trystan and granddaughters, Sophia, Tora Bell and Cali; sister, Krista (Scott) Massey; brothers, Robert (Karen) Haselmayer, William (Kari) Haselmayer and Donald Haselmayer. Many aunts, uncles and precious nieces and nephews also survive.

Calling hours will take place at New Comer Cremations & Funerals, North Syracuse on Tuesday 4-7pm. Funeral Service will follow at 7pm. Interment will remain private.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to In My Father’s Kitchen, Syracuse, NY.
