The last time I saw Ricky was in 2010. I was attending a beach wedding in Florida with my brothers and as I walked onto the beach, Ricky smiled his huge smile and headed my way saying "I know who you are! You look just like your mother!". Forty years of my life melted away and I was a child being lavished attention by my older brothers' friend once again. When I heard of Rick's passing, all I had to do was pick up the family photo album and there he was. The happiest memories of my childhood flood my thoughts and I smile. I am so grateful to have had him as one of my brothers' friends and for that last encounter with him.
Rest in peace Ricky . . . .
