My brother Ricky was a kind and gentle man. So many memories fill my mind...forts in the woods, playing on the "Monkey Tree", baseball games in the road in front of our house and many more! He taught all his little sisters how to fight like a boy! We had so much fun growing up! Something was always happening when he was around, the ring leader! Our loss, but Heaven's gain...He will be missed greatly by all my family. Love you and miss you Big Brother, always...Nancy
