So sorry to hear about Ric's passing. Ric, Mel Davis and I were roommates at Ohio University in 1974-75. Lots of great memories of that time together.

My deepest sympathy is sent to the Eberly family. Ric and I were college roomates at Ohio University for nearly two years.We had shared some great times together along with few good laughs. He was definitely one of the good guys.

I attended high school with Ric, and I remember how he made everyone laugh in Latin class.I would occasionally run into him at the grocery store, and also at Rooster's.Last month when I saw him at the grocery store we had a nice visit. He expressed how nice it was to be retired. I am so glad I had that opportunity to speak to him.Sending my deepest sympathy to his family.

Hi Marybeth! I just couldn't believe it when Connie texted me the news about Ric. You have my Deepest sympathies! There are soooo many memories I have about Ric over the years. I felt I was closer to him than I was to Pat. He was like a brother that I never had. Ya know, living out here in Vegas, you have lots of "Aquaintances" but my True friends are back in Columbus. I just realize that Ric and I had so many good times together I could actually write a small novel about them.I'm sorry I will not be there for the funeral but I will stop and say a prayer for him!If there was ever a time for a grown man to cry...well, I'm crying now!!

I appreciated the time spent @ Roosters etc. with Ric, he will be greatly missed by myself and many others. One of my favorite memories (and there were many), was when you bellowed "lets get it started in here" (totally off), prior to an OSU football game, classic....
