  48. Lana Grezaud-Bowers

    As shocked as I was to hear this, I have read his obituary over and over and still can’t believe it. My heart hurts for all of you. Rickey was a big part of my younger years….our little “gang, click, circle of friends” always took care of one another…..have so many memories with this guy and lots of laughs …..Wanda, I don’t know what to say or do that could make this difficult time any easier for you, just know that I’m only a phone call away…Nicole, you are a lucky girl to have had such a wonderful dad, who loved you and was so proud of you…(being called little Rickey was never a bad thing)….
    if you were lucky enough to be his friend, you were a friend for life, and no matter how much time passed between the next run in, there was always a story and a good laugh to follow….I will always cherish the memories we all had way back when…..by far, the best times! You are all in my thoughts and prayers. One man that will be missed by all who knew him.
    Hugs,

    Lana and Paul

  54. Kathy and Chubby Veinot

    Wanda,Nicole and Tim

    There is not a thing I can say to ease the pain you are feeling. Ricky was the same age as my brother Paul and I think they both knew how to enjoy life and not worry too much about what others thought. They made each day count. Ricky took with him the knowledge that he was loved everyday for who he was. He was lucky to have a great and close relationship with his mom, wife and daughter. He left behind his love of cars and fast driving in Nicole and Timmy. In Wanda he left enough great memories and love to last until they meet again. The sign of a good man is his relationship with his family and not being scared to show it. Please take care of one another and remember to laugh and smile when thinking about him.
    Chubby and Kathy Veinot

  56. Debbie godfrey
