I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Ricky. I have nothing but wonderful memories of Rick. he was a terrific accordion player, a great friend, and had a wonderful sense of humor. I lived across the street in the 70's and played lots of games like kickball, baseball, tag, and football. He always played fair and followed the rules.He taught me poker, and we played many poker games when I was a young teenager. Rick used to take me to school in his 62 (63?) Chevy. He called it the 'Polish War Wagon' We also had a great time with fireworks in the summer. Rick used to tool around in a 1970 green Karmann Ghia. He changed the motor using a swing set to pull it out. The thing nearly bent in half, but he did it. Many times we went to Frenchies Hollow to go fishing and swimming. We never fought. I never had an argument with him. Rick was one of the nicest and best friends I ever had. He was always a hard worker and a great guy. he will always live in my heart. May he always rest in peace. I will miss him. Sincerely, Peter Hermance
