That was my Dude. I met him in the early 90's when I barely had 10 minutes of material. We kept in touch and he put me on stage in LA for the first time. Afterwards, he helped me to get booked on the first pilot I ever did. He an Tupac were really close and I was with Ricky in LA when he died. Earlier this year he had a heart attack and I called to check on him. Life is short but there were few who could rock a crowd or play a cool uncle (TV and film) like Ricky Harris.
