    I was so sad to hear about Ricky’s passing. I didn’t realize he was sick and it came as quite a shock. I always liked Ricky and although we weren’t close, I have fond memories of him from when the kids were little. I also remember his solomon gundy dip on crackers…very tastey. I’ve never known anyone to make it since. He had a great smile and laugh.

    Deepest condolences to Chris and Makayla and the entire family.

  21. Laurie-Anne Brown

    Makayla & Christopher; I’ve always enjoyed running into your dad on the street, we always continued to share a laugh. Growing up he always had a way of bringing a smile to my face and I enjoyed his stories of his younger years he liked to share. As I understand his illness was quick, I’m sorry for your loss but grateful for his lack of suffering. His time was surely cut too short, and I’m genuinely sorry for that-life has a way of humbling us and his passing surely did for me.
    With the greatest of sympathy-
    Laurie-Anne Brown
