My sincere condolences to the family of Ted Ricks. My family and I knew him for 15 years, as my oldest son sat on his lap every Christmas and my 5 year was blessed to sit with him for 5 Christmases. He was such a loving and genuine man. He loved people and more importantly, children. He was like family to us. We will never forget him. We take comfort in knowing he is with his wife in Heaven with Jesus. We pray for his family to be comforted during this sad time but to cherish the beautiful memories you had with him. May you find comfort in each other and peace that comes from God.

Uncle Ted will be missed greatly. My kids always remember when we would visit him. He would always treat them to Emo’s pizza and then the next morning he would get up and go get Krispy Kreme donuts and chocolate milk. I think he loved spoiling and seeing the smiles on their faces. He loved playing tour guide, taking us to the Arch etc. He would always try and be there for special occasions to my Marine Corps retirement. We love you Uncle Ted.

He was so loved and will be missed by many in community. My daughter brought her sons to him at Christmas every year for 11 years, since they were babies. Such a kind, sweet person.
