It saddens me deeply that Ritchie has passed. It did not matter if you were a neighbour, co-worker, or friend, he treated everyone like family. The world is one great man less.

Your passing has left a void in our lives that can never be filled. Nothing will ever be the same again without you,the cottage, the card games, the dinners, absolutely nothing. Our memories of you and all the laughter we shared will never be forgotten. We love you and will go on loving you until we meet again.

My dog Diva was IN LOVE with Ritchie who could not pass our house without having her lean right against his legs for her morning love. He was the kind of man who was just always there... In such a good way. I can't imagine how his good friends and family must feel. Love from Margot. Diva and Dante.

To The Family

I am truly numb to this terrible passing of a wonderful human being. Those he has left behind are touched for having known him and spent time with him. Where he is going, there had better be lots of room as he is taking many hearts with him.

God bless you Ritchie, please give our love to your Mom and the rest of the family.

Love Grant

Our family;s condolences go out to all Ritchie's family at this time. The only thing larger than his heart was that laugh, that one that had all within earshot having their spirits lifted... Bill, Gwen, Scotty and Lindsey, I'm certain Joyce and Tammy in Calgary are just as shocked and dismayed as we are here, and know that their love comes your way at these times as well.
OUR best to you all at this time.

Richard you were truly an AMAZING person. You were there for anyone and everyone. I remember when I was so very ill in the hospital and you would come visit me and wash my hair with a bowl and cup while I laid in bed. I will never forget you, you were a great friend.

In my heart forever....Rest In Peace my friend!!
