Robert's death came as quite a shock to me. He was such an outgoing interesting and active person. He seemed so young and vibrant. I will greatly miss our philosophical discussions. My best wishes to his family.

I was very sorry to hear about Robert Ridgeway passing.I have known him since 1974 when he was a little boy. I met him recently at the Mensa meetings and was impressed by his intelligence and sharp mind. I made arrangements for him to be twice our Speaker and the audience enjoyed his presentation.
I ask his mother Marlene Ridgeway to accept my sincere condoleances

I haven't seen him in a long time. I wish it hadn't been so long. We played board games sometimes late night. Robert was always great company and a truly rare soul. I'm glad to have had the honor of knowing him.

Dear Mrs. Ridgeway, I was very sorry to hear of Robby's death. It has been many years since I have seen any of you, but the childhood memories on Rockmont are still with me. I can remember playing with Helga and Pookie. Robby was much younger, but I remember what a cute little blonde haired boy he was. If my mind serves me correctly, I believe Helga and Pookie had a playhouse where we would play. To this day, I often think of the Ridgeway family, when I see a Volkswagen Beetle. Again, I am so very sorry for your loss. The Ridgeways will always be remembered.

Robert, I will always remember your unique sense of humour, and the good times we had at WPLS.
