''I enjoyed playing softball with him, we were the oldest ones out there, but we competed and held on. I could talk to Rick about anything because he was a close friend.''

I'm praying God's comfort over this family. Rick would likely not remember me, but I am a distant relative. His father and my Mom, Zula May Fulkerson Porter, were related. And Rick's mom was a very dear friend of mine. Rick was blessed with many wonderful relatives and I know he will be missed by all. He walks with Jesus now.

Many happy family memories of reunions with Ricky’s family. Ricky could construct anything you asked him to build with perfection equal to no ones. He was always respectful to everyone.
The last time I talked to him which I will forever treasure was,”I love you Aunt Dorothy.”

Ricky was a fun and very knowledgeable guy, best carpenter I ever seen, he could anything out of wood that you asked him to do. He helped my Mom & Dad so much with their properties and without him it wouldn’t have got done the way my Dad wanted. He also would help me with things in the remodeling department that I wasn’t sure about. I remember when we all were at Grandma & Grandpa’s playing in the back room where all the toys were and all our little cousins would be in there playing with the toys, those were the days! Thanks Ricky for all those memories.
