Ritchie loved his family deeply! He also loved the Dodgers, fishing, the Vikings , Nascar and Firework shows.
He touched all of us in his own special way. It may have been by taking you fishing (or) taking you out to the lake to watch a meteor shower, taking you to a Dodger game, going to your dance recitals, going to your sports events to cheer you on, celebrating your accomplishments with you, or just simply watching you open a specially chosen gift from him to you to open on Christmas Day. That was his true joys!
Ritchie loved all those hugs from everyone.
Though Ritchie may no longer be here with us, we will carry a piece of him in our hearts.
Rest peacefully, my brother
