I came to know Ricky at Upper Room Church, and am so blessed to have known him. He was the kindest and genuine man of God. I sensed God's love as we would talk. My prayers for the family, but I know all are rejoicing, knowing his pain is gone as he entered Heavens Gate. Love to all

Ricky, "Flying Eagle", was dear to me. We spent much time on the airwaves and talking about radios, and all the little parts that make them work. I have missed my on-air friend lately and will so more now. But he's in God's place where he can breathe life & communicate with anyone he wants too anytime. May peace be with him and the family.
