Obituaries

Dear Keri & Barry, We were shocked tonight, as Richard was reading the Hopkinton Independent Obituaries, to find out about young Ricky’s untimely passing… I hardly have words to express my deepest condolences. My heart is so heavy with sadness, to say, “I’m sorry for your loss” is an understatement. I will always remember young Ricky with his infectious, bright big smile riding the four-wheelers with Tori and Hannah too, as well as his dirt bike, always stopping to say “hello” and talk a bit with me, assuring me that the Boone dog was no bother to them while they “tore it up” riding & having a grand Ol’ time! A bright light extinguished way too soon. Years ago swimming with the kiddos (Ricky, Tori, Keifer, & Gus) in your pool Barry brings a smile to my face and warms my heart and soul with great memories… Ricky was a “fish” & only wanted to get out of the pool when he was ready too… always game for anything (as the youngest) with no fear & tons of moxie!!, with such a kind soul. I will cherish those memories, think of him often, and be happy to have been blessed to know a beautiful soul of a being… sunshine on a rainy day. “Fare thee well young Ricky, may the four winds blow you safely home.” With love, Christine & Richard
