The family extends special appreciation to his dear friend, Walter Issac, and especially to Joyellette Issac for her unwavering support and assistance. Sincere thanks are also extended to his sister, Surrena Strudwick; Cindy and Doug Hall; Amy and Pat Dillon; the Hardman family; and his barber, Basil Hampton, for their kindness and support.
Ricky will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
