Not sure what to say?

I just got back on fb today and see my friend Ricky passed. I am deeply sorry. I went to ISU with Ricky. He and Wallace Johnson always acted like brothers to me and looked out for me. We lived in adjoining dorms. I always loved how he was such a proud Dad on fb. Loved seeing his posts about "his girls". Praying for your family. Heart broken that I didn't know in time and was out of town for the service.

I first met Rick back in the 60's playing at midtown little league. RIP RICKY.

Big Cuz! I enjoyed that good spirit you would always bring when we were around each other. Beautiful to see all the people that attended your homecoming, express warmth & respect to a fallen angel as your self . Till We meet again !

Thank you for being a successful and supportive family man. You have inspired many to achieve their goals in life. Men of Omega Psi Phi fraternity of Indiana State have lost a diamond to their historic treasure. You will be truly missed.

I'd like to offer my condolences to the family. I've known Ricky since kindergarten and serving as alter boys at St. Monica's. We play little league baseball at midtown. Ricky was a very special person who had a good grandmother and family. May he rest in peace.
