He attended Slocum Elementary School and Croft High School in Waterbury Connecticut. Ricardo (Lynwood) worked for many years as maintenance technician at Yale New Haven Hospital. He loved music, cars and sports. He always had a story to tell whether it was a true story or a fantasy. Even just meeting someone for the first time, he had a way of making you feel like he knew you for years and of course you had to stick around for one his of tall tales.
Ricardo (Lynwood) married Maggie Massey and had a daughter (Joyce).
Years later he moved to New Haven Connecticut and married Betty Cardoza.

He is preceded in death by his beloved Grandmother, Carrie Craig; Sister Cynthia Maia; Step-father Earl Connor; Step-grandfather Ernest Craig; and Father George Massey.
God knew his road was getting rough, he struggled day by day. So God released him into His arms and to Heaven he carried him away.
