Uncle Ricky was a kind and thoughtful man who loved his family so very much! He was so proud of Andrea, Denise, and Danelle and loved them with his whole heart. Memories of my childhood have him laughing and smiling, joking and horsing around. I am so sorry for the loss this brings them and their families. I remember his wedding vividly and the laughter and dancing. The whole family came together to celebrate him. He was the type of man who deserved to be celebrated and loved. I know that is how everyone feels about him. If I had to think of his most prominent quality, it would be his heart, which seemed like it was fit for a giant. My prayers are with everyone.

So sorry to hear of Ricky's passing.  He was a dear brother-in-law to me from 1969-1978.  I was married to his brother Gary.  Ricky was always a fun loving, kind, and friendly person to everyone he met.  All who met him loved him.   May he always be remembered with love.
