Wow! I just learned of Rickys passing all these years later. I coached him in hockey back in the late 90s. The Kings to be exact. He had a fearsome slap shot. I moved away from Iowa in the early 2000s.

Sorry to hear about the news. While some things have changed in my life, you were a large part of it for many years. I hope you have access to anything you want up there. My best to you, Nicole. Stay strong and know that the kids are forever your link to Little Richard, aka Francis, aka Sweetheart, etc. He was an entertaining fella. I hope the best for you and the kids.

Even though Rick and I lost contact for a long time, it still feels like I have lost a brother.
I am so sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts. I'll miss you Rick!

My prayers to you during this time. This is a great loss for many. A special prayer for the little ones left behind. Rick was such a great dad, I know how much he loved his kids and family. I will miss a great friend who would be there for anyone who needed it.
Miss you Rick.

Dear Juanita and Family, so sorry for your loss. I Know in time of sorrow it is difficult to remember all of the good times but, there was many of them and remembering those always helped me through the sad. My prayers are with you.
We have known each other many years good friendships last. I always enjoyed chats with Rick at the salon while getting my hair done.

Juanita and Family I am so sorry for your loss!! I would see Ricky when I would take the kids to Pre-School and he would take Jaxton. We would talk until they came out !!

Juanita and Rich,
My heart aches for you. Can't imagine what it's like to lose a child. I just talked to Ricky at Burger King last week. He had his young son with him, and so proud. He didn't think I would recognize him. I remember him running around at Britt and Minon's when he was a toddler.
Such a good looking kid.
Anyway, sorry to ramble on. Cathy and I are praying for you to have peace with Ricky's passing. See you Saturday.
