To Dennis & Family,
Our prayers & thoughts are with you, as always. The loss of Ritchie is unimaginable. I thank you all for having been a big part of my upbringing.
I recall a couple of days picking Rich up for school where we decided to go to McDonalds for breakfast, then go in late. We would never make it in. One time we ended up at Riverside (amusement park).
Richie had a smile, a sense of humor, and a laugh that made him unique. Ritchie is one of a kind.
I recall days fishing, the bikes, the orchard, the dump, buckboards, butterrums, "the henchmen", the garage, the guide wire, and the Arriva.
God Bless,
Jim Sardnola and Family

With each new life, a spark is formed. Over time its light brightens and gathers more and more energy and strength. It is often only realized after the light no longer shines, just how bright of a glow that it created and leaves behind. We may no longer be able to see its bright light flickering, but we are sure to feel its warmth and energy that it has created over its lifetime. I hope each who has been touched by this light will be able to find peace and soloist during their moments of sadness by feeling the energy and warmth left behind…
I have many fond and funny memories of Richie growing up. He was like a family member to me and my family. I was deeply saddened to learn of his passing. May you find comfort and strength in knowing just how many lives he has touched during his short time with us. May his energy, strength, joy, and love continue to shine through his children, Jordan and Samantha.
Please accept my deepest condolences. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
