How do you say goodbye to a man you have been married to for 44 yrs ? You don't! I will say until we meet again. I know you are with our daughter Angela.

Kim and Ritchie Family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. We have so many memories of Ritchie family functions. My memories from playground on are all cherished, fun times. When I run into certain people the conversation inevitably turns to Timmy stories but the best are always Dennis and Timmy stories. Stay strong you're all in our prayers.
