Ricky "Fred" & I started the apprenticeship together in 1979, and worked around one another ever since. I can truly say he was one of the kindest, hard working men I was ever around, and did his best to be a friend to everybody. He will be sorely missed by the people who worked with him. God's blessings, comfort, and peace to all his family.
So sorry for your loss. I have some great memories of Ricky when we were kids. He was always nice to us girls, although we drove him crazy. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Susan, not sure you remember me, my son Tyler Fletcher went to school with Brooke at Weber city elementary. We’re sorry to hear about your husband. I have some good memories of those days with you all. I pray God will wrap his arms around you and comfort you all in the days ahead. Love you. Sue Fletcher
