Ricky was fun loving and easy to be around. We were fraternity brothers and roommates. We traveled and surfed and played sports at ASC. He was with us recently at at a dinner at Hilliards - Not changed in over 30 years. This is so sudden and unexpected - He will be missed!

Dear family and friends, Rick was my sister Jenny's dearest friend. He came to many of our family celebrations and David and I loved it when he came to the farm. He loved the peace and open pastures and walked through the pecan orchard with our many dogs and cows trailing behind him. He was a man we were proud to know and love. We cannot believe he is gone so soon! We give thanks for knowing him almost 30 years and will miss his wry sense of humor and quick laugh!
