Rest in Peace.

Rickey was more than a good player, he was a good guy by all accounts - flamboyant at times but almost jokingly so, hilarious, and a family man. Rare anymore to see a star of any industry married for 40 years and stick with their family.

I was a big fan of him growing up, and have probably a dozen of his cards. I couldn't believe he was already 65 years old - certainly too young to go, but a harsh reminder for me how fast the years go.
