I would like to say he will be greatly missed by his family and friends. I thank him for his caring and kindness throughout the years. Him and Mrs Ricketts opened their home to keep foster children and I was one of those children I was blessed to have had both of them in my life I loved them then and I still continue to love them now. Thinking of you all (Pat Collins) Now Pat Watson
