Many thanks go out to his loyal customers that have remained dedicated throughout the years. Ricky has been very instrumental in the towing industry in the surrounding area since the 70's. He lived each day to the fullest. He loved his family, his dear friends, his employees and most of all his trips to the camp. Ricky was the greatest husband, father, grandfather and friend to many who will miss him dearly. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the American Cancer Society or Food for the Poor.
