Ricky was a great guy to talk to and fly with. Surprised and sad he died so young, a good man.

This is quite a shock to me even though I only knew this fine young man at the Brodak FlyIn over several years. I considered him a friend nevertheless and will miss him. He was a very willing student and eager to learn anything any of us had to share. Live is quite precious and very short indeed. I am truly saddened by his loss.

I just learned today that you're gone. It seems so surreal, like a bad dream.
It was only a couple of weeks ago that we had an early breakfast at that diner in Sperry, then got the bike put back together & running.
Over the 25 years since we first met, you have become family to me. The brother I never had. You are one of the very few that I always knew would have my back & be there for me if I needed you. You will be sorely missed. Hold down the fort buddy...I'll see you again someday. I love you brother.

Deepest sympathy and many hugs being shared toward Rick's family. Gone way too soon from his earthly life but I am pretty sure heaven woke up this morning to his questions and great laughter!

Wow, I don't know what to say! I thought you were recovering well, and bam, you're gone! I know we weren't that close as Cousins but you always knew that I loved you and when we did get together it was obvious!!!! I hope you are flying high with your fellow angels now and resting in peace sweet Ricky! You will be missed! Love you!!!
