He is survived by his father, Gary, his mother, Cheryl, and his sister, Cherie.

Saw both the name and title in the BB Club Play charts in 1989, but didn’t know anything about it.
It is always a shame for anyone to go too soon, thanks for introducing this, Richie!
Hey Ric! George Clinton? Not so much huh?
Yes, Richie…for god knows why, he scares me! And I don’t want to smell his finger…LOL!
Quite understandable! LOL
