I'll always remember the father/son bond, that was expressed with great love, honor, determination and decency. They both touched my heart, where their memory remains.

When I went to Fort Meadow School in Westfield back in 1975, since I was the new kid, I got to go to lunch early and help Ricky with his food (he could be a little messy). It was just the two of us in the cafeteria. He had just gotten a new computer that allowed him to type and I was pretty blown away with what he was able to do despite his handicap. I've always been so proud of that connection as I watched Ricky take on the racing world with his dad. So very inspiring. My condolences to the his family and friends.
