Grandson of Rosaria Pucci and the late Ludvico (Rico) Pucci. Nephew to Frank (Natalie), Perry (Lori), and Vince (Janice) Pucci and his many cousins. Ricky loved and was loved by his whole family.

Ricky then traveled and made friends all over the world. He spent his last years in Thunder Bay, a place he loved so much, with an amazing community.

I met Ricky in Uruguay , he was staying at the El viajero Hostel and loved it and he stayed for much longer than he planned at first in Uruguay. He cooked a dessert for us with apples, cheese and dulce de leche... a mix that i dint think would be god and it was delicius. I saw him dancing a few times he was an enthusiastic dancer! his art was incredible i 've never met anyone like him with that energy he was trully unique and special. I'll remeber him with lots of joy and affection.

Shocked and thrown into a chasm of "Oh no".... not Ricky!!
Ricky knew my sister, and they helped each other many many times. He showed such kindness to everyone and anyone who needed it the most. This was someone with a natural gift and that was clear the moment you met him. I am truly sorry to his family, what a wonderful person to have known in this life. RIP Ricky.
