Susan so sorry for your loss. Ricky was a kind, caring, fun guy. We had so many good times at Mahoney's, City Hall Parking lot and with the band. He could make me laugh till I cried. My wish for you Ricky is that you are banging out some tunes on the biggest and best drum set with some old friends up there and maybe some new ones. (Buddy Rich). May you now rest in peace.

Ricky was a unique guy...clever, funny, and a great drummer. He would do anything for you, and anyone who knew him could tell you a story or ten about him. I will never forget him.
