My uncle had a love for basketball that went beyond the court. But just as legendary as his jump shot was his appreciation for a good home-cooked meal. My grandma always had something on the stove. He was a proud son of Safety Harbor, Florida. He'll be remembered not just for what he loved, but for the presence he left behind. We love you and will miss you!
Your death brought pain to many, but your life brought others so much joy. My condolences to your family.
My Forever Friend Ricky,I will always Treasure Our Talks,Laughs and Tears.Right Now I can Hear that Song playing "Not Like Us" Rest Easy Friend.🕊️🕊️🤍
I send my deepest condolences to Ricky Moore family and friends. We were the class of 82 different high schools. Ricky has always been a nice guy and he loved my son's grandmother iced tea at C & C restaurant. Mrs. Clara was the only person who would get at Ricky and he would smile and say okay Mrs C. You will forever be remembered by many.
My prayers and sincere condolences to Miss Mary, Vanessa, Larry and Family 🙏🏽💔
