   I didn't know Ricky at all, except from reading some of his postings, but I have read this thread.
    It's clear that he was an exceptional person to inspire so many loving messages from Rootschatters.
   Sincere condolences to his family, and those who knew him well.
      Maybe he's swapping FH stories with Indie!

Just read the sad news.

Ricky gave me the confidence to post on threads when I first found rootschat.
He will be missed so much by so many.

My sympathy and prayers for his family.

Been out of the loop for a couple of days.
Dreadful news, as it always is when we lose one of our Rootchat "family".

My condolences and fondest regards.

:'( :'( :o  To-day I had the news from Gadget.
   

   Ricky, Although we never met I felt as if I had known you for ever.
  When I was new to rootschat you guided me through my problems and encouraged me to carry on.
  I will miss you more than words can say Ricky as i`m sure so many  more on Rootschat will.
  Rest in peace my friend,
  Deepest sympathy to Sylvia and his family,   
        GOD BLESS and rest in peace xxx
