Ricky and myself and two others from Kingsley elementary school patrol went to Washington DC back in mid 60's. There were several buses from the area going. One morning he over slept and would not get up...so we poured water on him! Haven't seen him in years. Always kept up with him through his sister. He will be missed. Prayers to the family.
