I found Ricky's son Ryan on Facebook. Ryan sent me a family picture and a writeup from the paper. I am posting those here and in the Photo Gallery at left.
This picture shows Ricky with his family behind him. Left to right standing are his daughter Wendy (who also has a facebook site), his wife Julia, his daughter-in-law Betty, and beside her, husband and Ricks son Ryan.
And here is the writeup from the paper.
We all remember Ricky as a kind and generous soul. Won't it be great to meet him on the other side. ! ! !
