So sorry to hear of Ricky’s passing. Ricky and Chuck used to come to Arena Village Laundry every Sunday to do their laundry. Was always happy and joking. Was glad to have known him. RIP, Ricky.

I am really sorry to hear about the passing of Ricky. We have known each other for over 40 years, going back to the old St. Joseph’s school days. I have a lot of fond memories with Rick which are more pronounced at times such as these. My condolences to the family.
Our condolences to the Ricky DeSalvo family. My husband, Noel (Sonny) was a college friend of his father, Abe; therefore, he knew the family. Also when Abe would be working in the DeWitt area, he would always come by for a visit. Thinking of all of you.
