My memory of Coach Ricks is an awesome memory. Coach Ricks was a mentor, an advocate, a custodian, a coach, and a beacon of light to many students and staff at Binford Middle School. Coach Ricks will be missed. Thank you Coach for everything.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Ricks. He was such a supportive and encouraging person. I really enjoyed getting to know and working with him and Grace when I was REA President. We built a friendship that still exists today. Rest on Mr. Ricks, you will be missed.
