Oh Ricky. It was a sad day when I heard of your passing. My thoughts and prayers are with your mother, my Aunt Kay, and your wife and children and grand-children. My smphathy goes out to your sisters too. It’s been decades since I last saw you, but I still remember our visits to So. California and listening to Sonny & Cher or The Beach Boys. More recently, I’ve seen the posts of you & your family on FB and I’ve heard stories from your sisters. I’m just sorry we didn’t get you out to Oregon this spring. We all missed seeing you then. My sincere condolences to your family. It’s hard losing your loved ones, but times heals and there is some peace in the memories. Rest In Peace, Ricky. Much love from your cousin.
I will miss you brother Ricky.
Love and prayers to Wendy, Bethany, Ryan, and families.

So very sorry for your loss. May God comfort you and give you peace in this time of sorrow.
I am sorry to hear of Ricky’s passing. I was a nurse at UTMB for many years and had the honor and pleasure of knowing Ricky. He was, by far, one of the nicest and kindest gentleman I ever met. My deepest sympathies to the family on your loss of such a wonderful person. He will forever be in your heart.
Rick was my friend for 50 plus years. I am so sorry for your lose
