Ricky and I walked to school together and dated. I'll miss him greatly. He was a wonderful person. I looked for him when I moved back to Ohio 4 years ago. Wish I had found him then.

Ricky was a quiet guy in high school, but I remember him fondly. He was funny and very nice. My prayers go out to his family and friends.
