I am so sad to just hear of Ricky's passing as we were fast friends during our high school days and were defensive backs together on the WHS football team; pound for pound, no one hit harder than Ricky. I appreciate Ricky's service to his country and the consequences of that service. I was able to travel back to Wethersfield for our 50th HS reunion last June, hoping to see Ricky and hear how he was doing. I found him at the CC and we chatted for a long time, he vividly related several stories about the two of us that were just so far back in my memory that I would never had remembered if not for his story-telling skills. Adios my friend, and thank you for the memories. I am happy to have hugged you that one last time. Bill Robnett Tacoma, WA
