I saw somebody else try to post this but it was a dead link for me so I thought I would share it as well, it is to the funeral home obituary and they have a area that you can sign the guest book and leave thoughts of Ricky and messages the family can read.

I sure will miss his photos and post here and on FB. He had an amazing call collection and from reading he was an amazing man.
RIP my fellow Turkey Man, praying the Lord will comfort his family now and for the future.

I am proud to have called Rickey a friend. I will miss talking to him. I am glad that all of his pain and suffering is over. Cancer is a terrible disease that I would not wish on my worst enemy. God speed my friend.
