Even though we haven't seen each other for about 40 years, we were close cousins when we lived across the street from each other as kids growing up. His Mom and my Dad were brother and sister. I will always remember Ricky as Jeff's little brother. Those were good times. I know he is with Auntie Aggie and Uncle Pete and we will all be together again someday.
