I always called Ricky my cousin, even though we weren’t related by blood. My best memory was when Birdie would drop him off at my house before school so I could make sure he would go to his class and stay there! We must have been in 1st or 2nd grade. We would walk in the front door of Lisbon elementary and I’d go to class and Ricky would walk right out the back door! He was a pretty good guy! Rest in peace, “cousin “!
