I lost a good friend. Someone that I was blessed to hunt with a few times. I learned much about turkey calls from Rickey. Rest now my friend. I'm sure that you and AuggieDog Bruce will be sitting on the ridge up there in the morning. Long beards and long spurs my friend.
Rickey went by Hunter22. I'm sure that most of you remember him posting his calls. You may not have known the name.

His family said instead of sending flowers send donations to St Judes. I have no idea how to start one of those accounts but was thinking it would be pretty cool to start something and donate the proceeds to St Judes from his turkey hunting brothers in his honor.
Ricky was a stand up guy. Was blessed to have known him for the last ten years or so. I enjoyed many conversations on this board where I met him the first time. Im sad he is gone but rejoice that his suffering is now over.

I am sure going to miss talking to Ricky about all thingsTurkey hunting related , especially turkey calls a mutual love of many of us -- He helped me greatly over the years as so many of you did , gave me great insight knowledge, and experience that helped this place will all enjoy
He kept his head high and exhibited more courage fighting cancer , people like Ricky are.a.special breed.

Rickey was one of the first on this Forum I made friends with. If you had a question about turkeys
calls, he had the answer. I spent many an hour conversing with him on the phone.
He made me 5 strikers by hand, with a pocketknife and sandpaper, that run as good as any.
RIP my friend, and the memory and footprint you left behind, will live on forever. God Speed....
