I worked with Ricky in Scottsdale and was immediately impressed with vast knowledge and abilities, but more so with his warm, kind demeanor. He was very giving and helped me immensely. I always enjoyed when he would stop by my office and will miss having him here. A truly great man and human being.

I am so sad to hear the sad news of Ricky. Ricky was my student of a few classes at ASU. He was a motivated and hardworking student. He was always respectful to his peers and his professor. I had a few short conversations with him outside of classroom and knew that he had a special sweetness in his personality. May he be at peace in heaven.
