Sometimes news can travel slowly. Just received notice about one of the nicest beautiful people, my friend Ricky. Rick was a real virtuoso Guitarist whom I had the pleasure of working with and he was a key part in our lives and we were proud to say, We all love you Rick. We may have been quite young, but we were blessed by having Ricky applying his many talents. Love you Rick, and thanks for all the good times. Please rest in Peace. You´ll receive our Prayers.
