Ricci "Knowledge" Askew

Ricci, this is Truth "True" Clark (former Troy Downey) from Oak Place and 3rd, back in the day. I remember when you got your job at Pepsi. We sparred on the corners, I remember sweeping you and me getting kicked in the face with your Pumas :) I went into military and you were the first one running up to car when I first came home on leave. You loaned me my first book I ever really read an loved "Down These Mean Streets." I heard of the passing of Science, your son, and then you. Moment...

This is Truth "True" Clark. I used to live off of 3rd Street on the same block with Charles "Science" Washington. Knowledge and I were good friends. I last saw him in 1988, I been since gone in the military. My deepest symphathy goes to the family (especially Puka, his brother). I'm Malik's older brother, he told me about Ricci's passing :(

To The Askew Family,
Sending my prayer's and condolence's for the loss of your son and brother Ricci. We formed a friendship in Arbor Elementary School and it spanned some thiry years. I pray that God sends you comfort that surpass all understanding. Ricci will surly be missed...

Ricci,
I love you, you will be missed always. I am so glad I had the honor of becoming close to you and being more than a friend, I did understand all that you felt. Too bad the time was cut short.
You will always be in my heart as I know I was in yours.
You will always be with me.
Love ya Gloria
