I was so sorry to hear today that Rickey Court passed away. My parents, Rex and Ruth Vaughan, were close friends of Ricky's parents and regular attendees of North End Baptist Church, so, of course, they knew Rickey well. They certainly thought a lot of Rickey and his family. It was so nice of Rickey to attend my Dad's memorial service in October of 2014 to celebrate Daddy's almost 101 years of life. 'Twas so good and comforting to see and talk to Rickey. I hope he did not suffer as he left this life and that he is happily reunited with loved ones who were waiting for him in Heaven. You all have my sincere condolences for the loss of Rickey's earthly life. He was a great guy.
