And several nieces, nephews, cousins, and family and friends he made over his 69 years on Earth.
Richard Ferry passed away on May 10th, 2022, five days after he celebrated his 69th birthday. He had been comforted by his beloved family (in person: Sister Dot, Daughter Jamie, Son Daniel, and online East Coast family, Brother Johnny, Sister-in-law, Joanne, and their family) and cherished friends in person (Shawn Hilton, and resident friends and Care staff at Waco Healthcare and Rehabilitation where he was a Resident, and Hospice Nurses and Care Staff at Baylor Scott and White Hospice visiting him and easing his experience in the days up to and the day before his passing, and had his beloved son, Daniel there overnight and morning of his passing.
Ricky had his issues like every other human, tough and tender at moments, stubborn and opinionated with a booming, thunderous voice and a yell that let you know he was there. He was a dedicated and hardworking Baker at RJR Nabisco in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for 44 years. When creatively engaged he was very talented with his hands and had exceptional woodworking artistry. He enjoyed eating delicious food and loved and was lucky at gambling in the casinos--a favorite place of his! He accepted and loved people as they were and was quite the charmer and flirt, who was affectionately called Blue Eyes by his friends, for his beautiful piercing blue eyes that he knew how to work.
He enjoyed being silly and making people laugh and laughing with people, and he valued his family and friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made to the charity of your choice in loving memory of Richard P. Ferry.
My Father and family want you all to know we and he appreciates your friendship, companionship, and care. Thank you for fondly remembering the past and carrying life forward in the present and future. May you all thrive and find the deliciousness in life! Special thanks to Taylor McKeller, Rehab Therapist Thomas, Nurse Maryann, and all the other wonderful nurses and administrators who helped care for my father during his stay at Waco Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center, including The Chaplain Larry, who is reading this. Thanks to the many residents who befriended my father, Patty for reading to him, Maryann, Katrina, and Yolanda for your friendship, Roy for looking out for my father and supporting Daniel and us during the final days, and everyone else unnamed at Waco Healthcare and Rehab who knew him. God Bless, everyone.
