So sorry of the loss of Ricky - I have fond memories of him welcoming me into the Natichioni family. There is never a complete comfort due to the absence of a loss one, but I hope seeing and reading memories from past friends will give some comfort.
With deepest condolences -

Paula, Chad, Ricky:

I know how difficult this road is going to be. I know that Ricky has touched many, many lives including mine. He will be deeply missed at our family functions, even though his presance will always be here. This passage has always helped me when thinking of loved ones that have been lost and I hope it will help you as well.

"May you always walk in the sunshine and God's love around you flow, for the happiness you gave us, no one will ever know. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, a part of us went with you the day God called you home. A million times we've needed you, a million times we've cried, If love could only have saved you, You never would have died."

If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to call. I love you guys!!!

Ricky saved a beaten, broken 16 year old girl and brought her to her true potential, not to mention because of him she found the love of her life and has been happily and successfully married for 25 years with two amazing children. The world is a better place because of him…. Thank you Ricky… I will always have you in my heart.
May God bless this family.

Our heartfelt condolences to Paula, Chad, Ricky and the entire Natichioni family. "Mr Nat" always welcomed myself and the other neighborhood kids into his home with a new nickname for one of us, or maybe just a friendly 'noogie', but always with open arms. I have so many good memories of spending hours playing baseball in the back yard and then raiding their refrigerator. With love and prayers, Jeff Mitchelson & family
