Poppy & family, I was so sorry to hear about Ricky's passing. Way too young. My gosh, I remember him as a kid. He was such a gentle soul. I pray your memories help you find peace and comfort in the days and months to come. Laurie Devereaux

So sorry to hear of Ricky’s passing, my condolences to Poppy and family. I went to grade school with Ricky and had the pleasure of hanging out with him riding bikes as kids. Great memories of growing up on Lee Street.
