Angela and family,
Mr. Rickey was one of a kind. He was such a BIG part of our Midland Middle School family. I don't think Rickey knew how much he meant to all of the staff and students. You never saw him without a smile on his face! He will be missed tremendously.
God received a true angel!
Sincerely,
