Another one bites the dust

This makes me incredibly sad. We’re losing our greatest generation………

May he rest in peace. Sounds like he led a very productive and admirable life and was valued contributor to the Shocker community.

One of the great Shockernet posters of all time, RDR, passed away on Thursday the 29th of Feb. Ricky Del Rio was born in Houston Texas, graduated from Texas A&M in 1958 and came to Wichita in the early 60’s. He worked in the commercial construction industry for Al Caro, Dondlinger and I first met him in 1974 where he was a project manager for the Law Company. We became good friends in the early 90’s and spent countless hours following Shocker baseball and basketball.

R.I.P.

I think RDR deserves his own thread. He was an original Shockernetter. I think you should start it, JJ.

RDR told me one time that he supported WSU athletics because aTm could raise more money in one day than WSU could in a year. Perhaps tongue=-n-cheek but very true. RDR and I traveled to a couple of MoValley tournaments in St Louis which were always an event in themselves. He also didn't seem to care for my style of drivingRest well RDR

There was a time when a rumor was just a rumor until Mort confirmed it.

I haven't been able to find an obituary for RDR/Dudley. Any ideas?

He was a big part of the Gold era of WSU baseball. Lots of memories involving taking my kids to the games and letting them chase foul balls. Sitting in front of the old broadcast booth on aluminum bleachers with unlimited future hopes and dreams. So sad to see a part of that passing but glad I was able to bear witness to it. Go Shocks
