Sitting here staring at this screen hurts my heart so greatly. Ricky or P-Pop as we called him was one of the kindest, most generous, funniest men I've known. He made me feel like I was part of his family even before J-Man ( Jon ) as P-Pop called him was born. He truly was a family man, he loved each and every one of you. I have so many fond memories a more recent was my birthday of this year past or the great strawberry cheesecake debacle of 2010.A story right out of Seinfeld and we took pride in! He was there for me when I needed help over this past year, making me laugh on the way to scary doctor appointments! He was very proud of his son and daughter, Michael and Sara, I feel lucky in a way we had that time during the drives to scary appointments to talk, and he expressed to me his pride in his children.
He took us three in during troubled financial times when Jon was around 2. The joy he took in spending time with J-man as he called him....so many special memories we made.
It is hard to say goodbye for fear of letting him go, but in my heart and my mind he will be forever loved and revered. thank you
