Wow it's been 9 years since you left me and my last post too. I am so glad to have met another Hollins and thank you for being my biggest supporter in the Hollins family research. The saga continues......

I DID HAVE THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING RICARDO AND ALTHOUGH IT'S BEEN MANY YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN IN HIS COMPANY, I KNOW THE HOLLINS FAMILY, SO THEREFORE I KNOW THAT HE WAS A VERY WELL-RAISED INDIVIDUAL. I'VE HEARD NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS ABOUT HIM AND I KNOW THAT HE WILL BE TRULY MISSED BY HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. TAKE YOUR REST NOW PONCO, YOUR JOB HERE IS DONE. YOU LEFT A MARK ON EVERYBODY THAT YOU'VE COME IN CONTACT WITH. JOB WELL DONE.

I didn't know Ricardo Hollins on a personal note but I did however know him through his work as an author and recording artist.
I would like to take my time to offer my condolences to his family and friends who will truly miss him.
Ricardo is in a better place now, he doesn't have to worry about anything and nothing else will ever harm him again as he is with the Lord now.
RIP Ricardo Hollins
