When I moved to Miami Beach in 1954 on 13th st. Pennsylvania Ave. right across the alley way lived this tall kid that I became very friendly with name Ricky. We went to Flaming Park almost daily after school was out and played in whatever kind of ball that was going on there and wouldn't come home till dusk. Our mothers used to ask each other , so is Ricky home yet, because Arthur isn't and vice versa. Almost forgot, it was Ricky that also took me on my 1st motorcycle ride when his mother bought him that 650 Bonnyville Triumph bike and when he did that wheelie(scared the ---- out of me)that was it for me. Some years ago I went back to my old neighborhood and there he was in the same place in a wheelchair telling me what happened to him ) He was just as big then in that chair as he was playing Basketball. Man was he great !!! I had heard that he passed quite a while ago but reading his name now and thinking back just remembering those great old days brings tears to my eyes and getting pretty choked up. God is watching you shoot that jump shot right now Rick, " all net as usual."

Ricky was such a fine person. We shared so many good times together. He loved life, his
friends, basketball, his -Vette, and was a truly caring person. I dropped his transmission while he was teaching me how to drive a stick shift and he didn't even get mad at me!!!
A 6'5" gentle giant!! He made the world a better place for sure.

Ricky was my buddy - he drove to school in his blue Corvette and we confided in each other. He was a gentleman and a great athlete.
