Jim Rickey was a good friend. He and I worked on several of Monticello's Christmas Parades over the years. I will always have those fond memories of the fun we had.

So sorry to loose another classmate. Jim was pleasant to be around in school and used to tease me about making ham salad at Garden City.
Will be thinking of all the family during this hard time for you.
