It has been many many years since I saw Ricky and really hated seeing that he passed. Ricky taught me how to drive in his old black Chevy Impala. He was a kind and gentle soul. My condolences to his family.

I worked with Rick at Valley Redi-Mix for many years. I never saw him without a contagious smile. He was a very funny and sweet man. I was honored to call Rick my friend. I saw him last at a Chinese restaurant in town and It was just like old times. Rick never changed. Prayers for you and your family, Rick. You are loved and missed.
