My prayers are with Ricky's family and friends. Although I haven't seen Ricky since 1970, we grew up together at Emmanual UCC--Sunday School, Church, Youth Fellowship--a small group of us were always together every Sunday. I remember he had his hand all wrapped up from an "accident" with a window pane on our Confirmation picture. Ahh, those were the good old days. He will be missed.

I just found out online. I am so sorry to hear about this. Ricky and I have been messaging each other about ancestry recently. I really enjoyed talking with him. My prayers go out to everyone in the family.
