Not sure what to say?

Ms. Barbour, Ryan and extended family. I am just learning of your recent loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to each of you. I knew Ricky through his work as a safety professional. His commitment to the safety of others and his sense of humor are the two things I most fondly recall. He will be missed by all that knew him.

I had worked with Ricky for many years on State leases. He was a kind and fun loving man. I bless your family and pray that God gets you through these hard times and leaves you with all the good memories.

Dear Diane,
We were surprised and saddened to hear of Ricky's passing. Our deepest sympathy and condolences go out to you on the loss of your dear husband.

Hello from Sharon Prince

I use to work with Ricky at Dorothia Dix Hospital and I always remember him and sometimes use his saying "you're in there like a hair in a biscuit". He was so much fun and would keep you laughing always. Even though I have not worked with him in a few years, he will still be missed. My deepest sympathy and prayers to Rickey's family. Always Sharon Prince.

We were so sorry to hear of Ricky's passing. He was a great friend...always making us laugh and enjoying life.

I worked with Ricky in the State Office. I always enjoyed looking at his "collectables" he kept in his office because we pulled for the same race car driver! Having just lost my husband in less than a year ago, I know the sadness you are experiencing right now. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss. As someone else said, you could tell that he loved his family by the stories he told. We will miss him.
