    I only had the pleasure of knowing Ricky for a few short years... but I sure enjoyed him in that short period of time. The way I remember Ricky is him playing in the floor with my kids. Giving them turn after turn for horse back rides through the house. He could never say no... no matter how many times the kids asked for one more turn. I remember his sweet, bashful eyes. Always worried about being a bother. Never tihnking of how much we truly enjoyed his company. To Ricky: I'm so glad you are in a better place, with no worries. To the family: My deepest symapthies, you are in my prayers, and I love you all!
