Ricky will be truly missed. As we spent two Louisville Shows together and shared some good times, I will always appreciate his help, concern and support with our dealers and their staff. Ricky was a true and caring person with a wealth of knowledge. May God grant you his blessing and comfort, during this difficult time.
My condolences go to family and friends. It is never easy to cope with the loss of a loved. But God promises that in the future things will get better. At Revelations 213,4 God says that death will be no more. Imagine what a wonderful time this will be! I hope this message leaves you with hope and comfort in the times to come.
