Though I hadn't seen Ricky since high school, I remember him fondly and was quite saddened to learn of his passing. I knew him not only at Niles North and Old Orchard Junior High, but as little league teammates even earlier. He was a really good guy and I offer my deepest sympathies to his loved ones.

I am sad and shocked to hear of Rick's passing. He was a good young man. I had the pleasure of coaching Rick at Niles North High School. Rick had a big heart and kind way about him. My deepest condolences to his family.

I'm so very sorry about Ricky's passing. I have so many warm memories of him, dating back to our Devonshire days and through high school. Always such a kind, gentle spirit with the friendliest smile. I so enjoyed seeing him in October at our reunion - we had such a nice chat after many years of not seeing each other. Sending much sympathy to Ricky's whole family. I'll be keeping all of you, and Ricky, in my thoughts.

I am so sorry to hear about Ricky. He was such a sweet guy. The Devonshire/Skokie/Niles North crowd was much more fun and joyous with him in it.
