Richard L. "Ricky" Goodman

Henrietta. I KNOW YOU DONT REMEMBER MEETING ME BUT I WORKED WITH RICKY RUNNING THE C-STORE NEXT DOOR TO THE OFFICE. RICKY WAS A BLESSING TO ME. WE WOULD BOTH ARRIVE BEFORE DAYLIGHT AND SHARE A PEPSI BEFORE HE WOULD LEAVE OUT. HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND. AFTER I LEFT HE WOULD STOP TO SEE ME AT MY NEW LOCATION OR ON THE ROAD, HE KNEW MY CAR. HE LOVED YOU AND BRAGGED ON YOU ALL THE TIME. AND EVEN THOUGH ANDREA WAS YOUNGER HE WOULD HAVE GIVEN HER ANYTHING AND LAUGHED ABOUT IT. IT HAS BEEN SO HARD FOR...

Henrietta, I was at your house today at Roebuck Springs tour and learned of your husband's death. I did not know him but he must have been a great guy. Half of everything in my house came from your store,so I feel like we are friends. My love and sympathy.

Henrietta, although I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Ricky, I know he was a great man. You probably don't remember me, but I used to play with you & Jo Anne Hamrick when we were kids. My mother (Mary Helen's best friend) & I were very saddened to hear about your husband and want to extend our deepest sympathy to you & your family. May God bless y'all.

Henrietta,
As I said the day of his memorial, I really had a lot of love for Ricky. He and I just clicked right off the bat at the Florida Grill. You may remember at the goat party, he won the baby goat and money at my house when he guessed the exact day that the two baby goats would be born. We will all greatly miss him. PS- He reniged on taking the goat(can you imagine) but did take the money he won!! Tony Coggins

Henrietta, I was so shocked to learn of your great loss. Mother's and my thoughts and prayers go out to you in these difficult days. I know you better than Ricky, but when I would pass your house on my way home, Ricky would always lift up his hand and wave and give a warm smile to me.
May God bless and keep you and hold you in the warmth of His hands.
Sincerely, Johnny James

Henrietta,
I am so sorry to hear about your terrible loss of wonderful Ricky. He did nothing but bring sunshine into everyone's lives he touched. He provided all of us at The Grille many hours of cheer and fun and an all around wonderful attitude. I KNOW he loved you more than anyone. If you need a shoulder, I'm here. I know what you're going through.
Love,
Charlotte Brannum

May God Bless You and Your Family in this Difficult Time.

Henrietta,
We have been friends a long time, but we never see each other, but never forget one another either. Some of our funniest and fondest memories are when we were young. I was sorry to hear about Ricky and we didn't even find out about it until Friday night late. We were sorry that we didn't get to visit on Friday night. We love you and if there is anything we can do, you let us know no matter what it is. Let's get together some time soon. Love you, Joy McKee Brewer

Henrietta,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. We were so shocked to hear the news,we are so sorry. My mom was especially saddened. We will always remember Ricky's great personality and smile. Love Carmelita, Consuelo, Gina and Benjamin
