Ricky ,,we spent our childhood together . So many memories and funny times . You were always being chased by someone trying to kick your arse lol , sorry we stirred you about your lips .
I remember nunna always with a smile trying to get you with her apron . Your spite for life was infectious ,, that laugh always broke a bad mood .
Your heart shone for your boys and your cars , oh and the MIGHTY PIES . Thanks for all the late parties at your home , many big nights . As we all grew into adults , we separated in our lives but the cousin love is and will always be strong . I’m so sorry you had to endure such a painful end to your life honey . Cancer iis so cruel . I will cherish our cousin memories . Rest free of pain now handsome . Love you always . Your cousin Springroll and Vegemite xx I’m so sorry I won’t be there for your send off xx Love to Michael and Simo xx

I have known you since your a teenager and onto adulthood. Always a kind and staunch man who supported his friends and loved ones.
A man who survived the rough times as a young person turned into a beautiful man.

The old memories I will cherish. Lots of years hanging out. Those high school years, you always being the shit stirrer. Then 20 years later we crossed paths again. It was like nothing had changed. You were always up for socialising and enjoying life. RIP

My deepest sympathy to Tina and the Sykes family on the sudden passing of Rick. Rick was a great guy and friend to all who knew him. He was too young to leave this world. Thinking of you all. 💔

My thoughts to all Rick’s Family and Friends at this sad time. Rick might have been a customer that I met many years ago but he was always good to deal with loved a chat, laughter and a bit of banter. RIP Mate

Ricky you were one of the good ones I will cherish all the memories we made when we were kids my thoughts are with the Sykes family at this sad time an sorry I can’t make it to your send off till we meet again. Spitz

Ricky Dickie!! That’s one of the names I called you but you made me call you handsome 😂 well I think you made most of us younger cousins call you that 😆 but I’d do anything you’d say.. I adored you xo
I remember how you use to tap on the table with your hand and I’d watch you, then you finally taught me… even though it annoyed the shit out of everyone, then I would do it and think I was so cool …. Pretty sure all of us did it…(I’m sure someone else will try to claim they started it first)
I have so many memories of us growing up & each memory always makes me smile.
We are going to miss you, your big beautiful personality, but now we can at least take comfort in knowing your free from pain xo
Love you Always ❤️

RIP Handsome 🌹

Ricky l remember the times we would come to Morwell for a visit & we would come to Aunty Doris house as nuna lived in the back in the bungalow and you were always working on 1 of your cars in the garage. Your passion for cars was incredible.
One day l came to Morwell and you said to me cuz do you want to go for a spin in nervous, l didn’t no what to say. So off we went. It was a drive l will never forget. Least to say lucky l didn’t shit my pants my god that car was a animal.

Thanks for the memories cuz.
May you rest now free of pain.

Love you always

How I remember growing up as Rick’s mate I wouldn’t change a thing. There’s so much that comes to mind. I would need another lifetime just to talk about it but here are a few things To reminisce about like all the times Rick and I used to get around everywhere with our Morwell jackets on, riding around on our BMX’s going out to blue light and Wog discos , living nearly all the time at Rick‘s house to being Rick’s best man at his wedding and the Godfather of the boys I’m just blown away with the sudden and cruel passing of my best mate. love you mate
always Eddy

U will be sadly missed condolences to the family at this very sad time
