Monticello, AR Friday, May 16, 2025 I just heard about Ricky. My prayers for his family. I've spent many many hours with Ricky. When I managed the Huddle House he had most his meals there. He was always willing to help me with anything. Rather going to store to bank or just helping me fix something. He made my job so much easier. And I'm so grateful for all his help over the years. My you rest in peace my friend and thanks for being my friend.Linda M Boyd Gipson
