I know it’s been some years since you lost Ricky but, I also know that doesn’t change how much he is missed. I was thinking of my old shipmates and decided to use technology to see if I couldn’t see what they were up to. I can’t express my shock and sadness at learning that Ricky had passed.
I served with Ricky on the Bittersweet. That was a long time ago but I still remember that he was a great shipmate and just an awesome guy.
He helped me open a cypher locked door after I managed to get my finger caught in it. Then he whipped out his knife and scraped the end of my finger into an ice bag in hopes of saving it. I lost the end of my finger but he was the reason I didn’t go into shock that day.
So many great memories. He was simply just a good guy.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
