Rick was born on October 8, 1949 in Riverside, NJ the son of Charles Robert “Bob” and Lillian (Stowe) Durboraw. He graduated from Cinnaminson high school in 1968, and was a volunteer with the Cinnaminson Vol. Fire Co.

He was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War and served on Air Force bases in Idaho, Nevada, and overseas in Thailand. Rick worked for the telephone company for his entire career as an installer and technician. He worked with NJ Bell, AT&T, and retired from Lucent Technologies. Following retirement, he worked for several years as an independent contractor with the local NJ I.B.E.W. From an early age Rick’s passion was racing cars and working on them. He ran a micro sprint car at several tracks in NJ, DE, and PA for many years, and when he wasn’t racing always enjoyed watching NASCAR on TV. His family is grateful that he has now finished his final race and won. He was a beloved husband, dad, and poppy to his grandchildren.
