'Dear Ozzie': Tosaint Ricketts vows to honour father's legacy in letter

Dear Dad,

You know, I got to meet some of your friends recently. You got quite a few of them, actually - about 50 or 60 people out in Toronto, and they were telling me the same things.

Ozzie was always there to help us.

Whenever I called, Ozzie was there.

Ozzie would always tell me, '"Anything you need, I'm here".

They miss you, Dad, and I do too.

I'm glad we got to reconnect after being apart for a few years. Then I had to leave a year later, when I left for University when I was 17, and then I went straight to Europe after that.
