Ricky was one of my dearest friends.I will miss you RIP Pretty!!!
I just ran into you about a month ago in boiling springs. You followed me to my house because we haven't seen each other for awhile and you asked were did I live. Since we move from the other home you frequently visited. We talked at the house and caught up on our absent apart and then you promised me you were coming back. I called you at least twice within the last month asking when are you coming. You told me ",I will get there I been real busy". Then you pulled beside me riding down hwy 9 and rolled down your passenger side window in your repo wrecker. I rolled down my driver's side window and you said "Hemp I'm going to get them".(meaning confiscate someone's car). Dude my brother text me at work typing some mess I didn't not want to believe what he sent me.. We went back and forth but he didn't have any info so I didn't take his word. All I'm saying bro when you see this you will be the only one to understand. I really don't need to sign off on this because we always have been one. Pauline continue resting, Jeff and Mary your brother is an awesome man. He was truly my friend for along time. Oh yeah Ricky I've been strolling thru your Facebook and I saw the Nova. We road around listening to Timex Social Club "Thinking About Ya" with your house speakers in the trunk and baby oil on your tires. Man nobody understood the country boys because I did the same with my Toyota Celina GT. Peace bro I love you. Paul
