We first met when you were 11 years old -a little ray of sunshine to us all, and especially to your Nana and Pop. Take your music to the river Ricky and I'm sure the fish will find you.

Ricky was 2 years behind me in school, we really didn't hang out much as adults but when ever I would run into him through the years he always had a smile and a laugh to share. Saddened by the news, hope you're in a better place and feeling no pain.

Rich is a great friend and very unique one at that! I grew up my earlier years around Pennside and Rich was around for many of those instances. I never had a bad time around him and he would never harm a soul. Some of my best memories are my upbringing in Pennside and Rich is definitely one of the stars in those memories. Any Pink Floyd song I ever hear I will have a big grin and remember irreplaceable classic times with Rich Curry! "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" R.I.P.
