Rick and I were friends for years hung out together all through high school and after. I moved to the Bay area to play summer league basketball. The night before he died by his sick brother's hands he called me to come and get him he has just graduated from P.I.T and wanted to move to were the tech jobs were. I told him he would have to wait to the weekend before I could come and get him he was killed the next day. He wanted me to get him that day now I wish I could rerun that part of my life and go get him he would still be alive today.
Thank you "Anonymous". Ricky is (was) my cousin and one of my best friends growing up. We shared many adventures exploring the desert near our neighborhood, and riding our bikes farther than our parents would have allowed. His growth was stunted and his health compromised by rheumatic fever in 2nd grade, but I always looked up to him as so brave and adventerous. I love and miss him, but know we will enjoy a wonderful reunion in heaven someday. To those of you who were Ricky's friends, God bless you. Deep respect~ Kathy (Howard)
