I sat next to Ricky for four years in high school home room and in our graduation ceremony as we left high school. Today, nearly 40 years later, I saw Ricky's name on the Vietnam Memorial. Ricky was an energetic guy and good friend.

Thanks, Ricky, for for your friendship and your sacrifice. You aren't forgotten.

Ricky graduated with my cousin, Chris Totora
and with my girlfriend's cousin
Jimmy Stassi.

They all gave up their lives
just months apart from each other.
They were all wonderful people
and are greatly missed by family and friends.
