Ricky,

I was just getting to know you, and what can I say. you were a great guy, and a great father. I love you and I will truly miss you and your smile. I was remembering the way you coached Dre Dre and the other kids in Flag Football, watching you walk out to the field and set them up for the next play. You did a great job with those kids. I will always remember going to work, you pulling up and dropping Dre Dre for school and saying to him " Come on Little Daddy, be good in School. Luv U" I promise you I will tell Dre Dre about these and other great memories.

Steph, Tierra, and Dre

We are so sorry for your loss, and anything we can do, we are here. Ricky was a great guy, remember all the good times!

BooBoo, Richard, JJ and Sammi
