Grew up with Ricky and at 15 years old,before we could get a drivers license, he got a 58 Chevy that was so cool . We both shared a passion for hot rods. During the summer his dad would take us to his job at South high and let us swim while he worked. Glad we got to reconnect thru face book a few years back but wished we could have had more time before his health declined. Rest In Peace my friend
