To my Uncle Gene and Aunt Gracey and cousins Mike and Bobby,

My feelings of sorrow and sympathy go out to you.

The last time I saw Ricky was in the late 60's or early 70's.I will always remember him as perfection in personality ,looks , and athleticism. Being an only child if I were to have an older brother he would be it.

I look forward to seeing him again in the afterlife.

Love, George Morgan Jr.
