I have to say Ricky was definitely 1 of the Strongest Man I will probably ever meet.
Never complained didn´t matter what was in his way
I believe a lot had to do with his beautiful wife Pam being right beside his side
He will be dearly missed by so many
Thoughts and Prayers for Pam as she goes through these next weeks, months Please keep her in your all prayers
Much Love

Your light was bright and always lifted my heart, and you brought me joy with your wonderful stories. I will never forget your kind and gentle nature. A good friend that will forever be remembered. No more hiccups and no more suffering. Rest peacefully my friend and we will see each other again in heaven. I love you friend.
