Not a lot of information on the WWW on Mr Rickenbacher that I can see, perhaps I'm doing the wrong searches. Lots and lots of hits, but no biographies, and no date of death. I assume he's no longer alive (he'd be about 120 years old).

Several sites mention the renaming of the company to make it less German-sounding, some say at the time of the First World War (which can't be true, the company didn't exist) and some the Second, and one says both. No mention of Mr Rickenbacher changing his own name as well, although some sort of assume he did by referring to him by the ck spelling. This may be pure carelessness of course.
