To Roy: This is Ricky's mom, I feel the need to tell you this. You did not k now my son,because if you had you would have found everything you said to be a lie. My son was a great man who had five children four of which he raised on his on. Those kids were his life.T He Y was always laughing and smiling, trying to never let his load he carried get him down.you talked about my son not having his seat belt on but his kids were. here is no perfect man except for our lord Jesus Christ so I suggest you look in your past and see how perfect you are. My son was a great friend ,son, father and his Debbies love. Melinda
