I am going to miss walking past Rick every morning and listening to him chat or sing a song as he made his way to the bus stop. There was such a sweetness in greeting him each morning. So sorry for the loss of this good man.

I am sad to learn of Ricky's passing. I grew up in Rose Park on Goodwin Ave and remember his kindness toward all of us younger kids. His presence in this life will be greatly missed.
