Harry Richard "Ricky" Haikin

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Franelle Rogers

Ricky was such a kind happy man, who brought a ray of sunshine to every sporting event at St, John´s School!!! He not only attended his daughters games, but would come to the " boys" baseball games and cheer as long and hard as the rest of the parents!!! His enthusiasm and love of life will be missed by everyone!!

Little League brought Ricky and me together as young boys. Because of that as well as family ties, we have remained friends over these many years. Both of us were pretty good little ball players at the age of 12. I recall that when we played Ricky´s team (the Pirates), Ricky would inevitably end up on 3rd base. From past experience, we knew that he would try to steal home when the catcher threw the ball back to the pitcher. Because Ricky was quick and smart, he did this repeatedly and we...

From the beginning, when I met Ricky, and Roslyn, I was drawn to them. My daughter´s husband, Johnny Forney, adored Ricky and was so proud to work with him. Ricky was wonderful mentor to Johnny, full of great advice as well as his always present cheerfulness. Ricky will be incredibly missed by the Forney family. He was a good, good man.

We are so sorry to hear of the loss. What a friendly and happy man. I always enjoyed seeing him at baseball games and Shlenker events. Our prayers and thoughts to all the family. Aaron and Joelle Miller
