Kelly and all of Ricky's family, I am so sorry to hear of Ricky's passing. You always talked about him, Kelly, so I feel like I knew him well. Keep his spirit alive.

Ricky was such a fun and kind person. He was a best friend to many but especially for 50+ years to his friend´s David and Irvin who are greatly saddened to say goodbye and send their condolences. I too have many fun memories of times spent with Ricky over these past several years. We will miss seeing his smiling face at our parties in his fun hats and cool socks. We will miss all those thumbs up´s. God has another angel for sure. He will be greatly missed. Till we meet again "hot...

I only knew Ricky for a short time, but it felt like a lifetime. Ricky was funny, sweet, and had a way of saying so much while saying very little. His presence was huge, his spirit was warm, and he always knew how to make people smile. Ricky also had an amazing hat selection-every hat seemed to match his personality perfectly and added to the charm that made him unforgettable. He will truly be missed. My sincere condolences to his family during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Ricky.
