In 1967, Ricketts relocated to Benton in Saline County south of Little Rock (not to be confused with his birthplace of Bentonville), to become the administrator of the local Arkansas State Hospital, at which he earned the "Boss of the Year" award in 1968. Thereafter, from 1972 to 1973, he was the administrator of the Stella Manor Nursing Home in Russellville in Pope County, at which he was active in the Association of Mental Health Administrators. He was the executive vice president of the Saline County [[Chamber of Commerce]] from 1973 until his retirement in 1985.<ref name=obit/>
