Ricky was an avid reader and frequent patron of the library. To preserve his memory, donations may be made to the Mary Wood Weldon Memorial Public Library, 1530 S. Green Street, Glasgow, KY 42141.
Brenda & Mrs. Bush, We did not learn about this until last night, and were not able to come to the funeral home today.
It has not been long since he and Ricky Powell came out here to the house and talked to James, but I was at WKU in class, so I missed them.
We plan to make a donation in his memory to the library; we are so sorry for your loss. Love, James & Becky Tracy & family
Mrs. Bush and Brenda, I was so sorry to hear of Ricky’s death. I graduated with him and he was a good friend. I haven’t seen him in a long time. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Kathy Elmore
Dear Bush’s,
My name is Matt. I am truly sorry to hear about Ricky. I attended Cumberland Heights with him. He was a great man. He made me laugh every single day that i was around him. Something about his presence always brought a sense of calmness to me. He will always be and my memories and forever in my prayers.
Matt Gallant
