Mr. Ricky, I've known you since about 3 years old. I grew up loving you and the family tremendously. I remember when I saw you working one day and we exchanged smiles. From then on, we spoke daily. You were so kind and had a beautiful spirit about yourself. I know my "other granny" Mrs. Snow embraced you with open arms. Let her know that she is truly missed as well. I pray that you rest in heavenly peace. Until we meet again...I love you! Dustin if you need me, call gma. I'm one call away

We are deeply sorry for your loss. Ricky was a hardworking man who enjoyed time with family and friends. His mechanical and handyman skills were often used to complete projects that he and Dustin worked on together. We have so many fond memories of get-togethers and events for our children and grandchildren shared with Ricky throughout the years. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, and he seldom met a stranger. Ricky will forever be remembered as a member of our family. Our prayers go out to the entire family.
