Ricky had a strong zeal for life, was very loving, caring and attentive. He left a deep impression on those of us who had the experience of knowing him. He loved his wife cooking and was very crafty. In addition to great vocals, he was a self-taught musician who part of the St. Helen Catholic Church choir. He gleamed with pride when hearing his grandchildren play the piano and steel pan. His work ethic was exceptional.
Ricky, I love you and will miss you dearly, your wife Betty.
Dad, you taught us to put Christ first, work hard, be kind and love deeply. Everything we are today, we owe it to you. We will miss you dearly but knowing your in Heaven makes us smile.
Per his wishes he will be cremated.
The family wishes to thank the staff of T.M. Ralph Funeral home, St. Helen Catholic Church, and Vitas for their care.
