For the 50 years I’ve known Ricky he did everything big. But, nothing bigger than the love he had for Darlene and the rest of the family. A good heart. God bless.. Rest in peace friend. You deserve the break and the wings.
Rest In Peace Ricky. You Were A Good Man And You Loved Your Wife And Your Family Very Much. It Was An Honor To Know You. You Helped Take Me Places When I Didn’t Have A Ride To Go Anywhere. Thank You For Being There For Me. Rest In Heaven Now

Ricky used to work at the Kenbridge Locker plant with my Dad. He mounted the deer antlers (which I still have) when a deer hit my car. RIP Ricky. 🙏🙏
