Ricky, as I remember him, was a good friend through grade school and junior high school. I remember his love of life, love of others and his ability to relate to all. I know he will be greatly missed. I am very sorry for your loss.

Just heard this sad news. Rick was a good friend when we were kids before LT, someone I always referred to as a "cool guy", genuine and down to earth. It was so enjoyable talking with him at our last reunion. I'm very sorry for your loss.

With deepest sympathy as you remember Rick...I am so saddened to hear that Rick lost his battle and passed. As his neighbor and friend for many years, I know what a great guy he was. We camped with our kids when they were little, we sat by bonfires in our yards, we gathered for parties and enjoyed many laughs together over the years. I will miss him driving past my house honking an waving at me. His smile, sense of humor and caring heart will be greatly missed. Rest in peace my friend.
