To the family of Ricky Vida, please accept my sincere and heartfelt sympathy. I first met Ricky at Benjamin Syms Jr. HS and he was one of my very best friends through school. We shared many, many happy and crazy youthful times and memories, dances, summers at Buckroe, school events and adventures. I last saw Ricky about 8 years ago and we had the best time catching up after all of these many years. He reminded me of so many things I had forgotten. I loved him like a brother. I will always remember his unforgettable laugh and big old grin. I pray that Ricky is up in heaven sharing some stories with those that have gone before us and living in glory and peace. Till we meet again, Ricky, I will always cherish the fact that you were a dear friend to me. Sincerely, Bonnie Bridger Mittelmaier
You will always be a part of our family. You are deeply missed, we will Love you "Forever and Day"
