It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the untimely passing of our brother Richard "Ricky" on December 1st. Ricky was disabled due to a major medical event that occurred in 2016 leaving him unable to work and dependent on Social Security, which was his only source of income. Ricky was a kind-hearted soul who touched the lives of so many. Anyone who knew him was impacted by his generous giving nature and his ability to make people laugh.

We are humbly reaching out to family, friends and the community for assistance to help offset the costs of funeral expenses. Unfortunately we were not prepared for this unexpected event. If you are able to assist, any contribution would be greatly appreciated. All donations will go directly to the Toale Brothers Funeral Home on Honore Ave in Sarasota.

We thank you in advance for your consideration.
