So sorry for your loss.
I was blessed to have had students students such as Rickie Hampton in my high school classes when I taught at DeValls Bluff High School fifty years ago. Rickie was attentive, considerate of others, and a gentleman as a student Over the years since then, I have occasionally met Rickie at various places and he was still a gentlemen in conduct. He was a hard worker, respectful of others, dedicated to his family, and a positive influence that is much needed in this present world. He will be dearly missed, but his precious legacy will be well remembered.
Our prayers continue for his family.
