Rick was one of the most special friends anyone could have. Ive known Rick since we were kids. Never a time was I in his presence that he didnt freely give me one of those great big smiles. I will always remember those smiles and the wonderful sense of humor that Rick possesed. He was a joy to be around and a true friend. I will always hold the sweet memory of Rick close to my heart. God bless you, Ricky. Pat

I always thought of Ricky more as my brother than my cousin. We were only about 5 months apart in age so we literally grew up together. Ricky and I spent many happy summers together having fun and trying not to get into too much trouble, or at least not get caught at it. Ricky would stay with us at our beach house for extended periods each summer. We would surf, ride our gocarts, and for some crazy reason were infatuated with digging holes behind our cabin. Not little ones, but huge holes. I think our parents saw how much fun we were having and one Christmas we each got our very own shovel. Whenever Ricky stayed with us my Mom would always treat him just like he was her own son, and I remember her saying many times that Ricky was her other little boy. I will miss him very much, but I will forever have the memories of all the great times that we shared to hang on to for the rest of my life. One day I hope to see him again. Im sure he will save me a place.

Ricky and I grew up 2 blocks apart, started elementary school in the same classroom, and even our grandfathers shared the same mule quotNelliequot to plow their gardens. We came in and out of each others lives so many times over the years and he will continue to hold a special place in my heart. To his family and friends, remember the great memories and also the love that Ricky had for each of you. Blessings.Toni Willey Forey Deer Park, Texas
