I met Ricky in Tallahassee Florida when he was working for Junior and I was working for Suwanee Swifty - both being small market convenient stores. He was my best friend for the short time I knew him. We both served in the air force so we had that in common. We were both struggling on minimum wage ($3.40 an HR.) But our friendship helped us both get bye. My parents loved him because he was so humble and gentle. We both toured the state but then I left for Chicago. After returning, I contacted him and he visited Chicago with me. We both went to a White Sox v. Tigers baseball game in April on a cold and rainy day only to be rained out. So we hopped the subway and toured as much of the city as his time availed in 1987. In 1996 I came to visit Rick and he took us to the interesting Sault Locks and then he found a great tribal motel for us to stay in. Sad to say, I never contacted him again - only to read this obituary. It's difficult to find friends like Ricky although I'm glad that he kept his love for the UP. Rest in peace Ricky. You were everybody's friend and I'm certain you'll be loved wherever you've gone.
