Dearest Ruby, I am saddened by the news of John's passing.  I know I do not need to tell you of his kindness, wittiness, and all around pleasantness.  I enjoyed chatting with him at the Storefront or running into him in the halls.  Of course, we always ended up chatting about you.

Please know I am thinking about you and pray for Peace that Passes All Understanding, now and in the days to come.  I am blessed to have been in John's company and yours.

Jennifer Clemons



My condolences to Ruby and John's family -- I had the privilege of working with John for several years in Customer Relations Group.  He was an extremely dedicated employee who always put the customer first.  He was always pleasant to work with --- may he rest in peace. 

When Ruby called me to inform me on the passing of John my heart just sank.  I worked with John for 35+ years at the CIA.  We ate  lunch together at the same table with the same circle of friends.  John was always very loyal to the organization,  associates and subordinates.  John would always send Christmas cards and never seemed to forget my birthday.  He always has been a generous man with a big heart and i always felt like he was the brother that i never had.  He also was your go-too man in the office and every office should have a John Ricciardi.  I will miss John's humility and his dedication of service to the Agency and in the US Navy.   My sincere condolences to Ruby and John's entire family.    May the lord bless and keep John Ricciardi.

I worked at the agency from 1975 to 2000. I know this gentleman but cannot recall exactly within what office we crossed paths. I want to say 1724 F Street. Can someone share with me publicly where exactly he worked? Please. Thank you. 

A dear, kind person with a wonderful sense of humor. I also knew John from work. It was always a treat to have an opportunity to work with him. Condolences to his family.  

Will always remember John as an exceptionally nice man and great co-worker.  

I worked with John for years at CIA.  He was at my wedding in 1976.  I will always remember him fondly and please accept my condolences on his passing.
