Not sure what to say?

He was dentist for years and we had social friends that got us together from time to time. This man was a great dentist but also a lovely and kind person who won´t be forgotten.

Already going on 8 years. What fine man. Great example of how to live one's life.

I will forever be grateful for this wonderful man. I was 7 years old when I first started going to him as my dentist. Remembering that whistle and friendly personality kept me from being afraid. As I listen to people talk about hating to go to the dentist, I look back and am so grateful to Dr. Ritter for his love and kindness that kept this fear away from me. He knew I was emotional and he always made me laugh so I wouldn't be afraid. After all these years, I was thinking about him...

Just can't stop thinking about all the good old days working for Dr. Ritter. Six days after I started, he had a birthday, Feb.16th, 1966, and he was 30 years old---WOW 30! I was 19 :-). Of course, we got him a cake from Paul's bakery and he put the whole icing rose in his mouth at once! He loved it!!
This became a tradition EVERY birthday.He was driving a little light blue Ford Falcon,when I started-I can see it now. :-). Sat. was also a work day back then, yes,8:00 till noon on Sat. My...

WHAT A GREAT GUY, DENTIST AND FRIEND!!!! I was 13 when I first went to him for dental work and continued until he retired. Saw him downtown WP many times and chatted, always teased him about his burgundy cars and chatted old times. When I heard of his passing I cried, I will miss him dearly. 51 years together!!! WP will not be the same anymore.

Thank you everyone for all the kind words and thoughts. Dad's in a better place now.

Page and Patrick, We have many wonderful memories of great times together with your Dad, Ed, in High School and later in our families and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Love, Marlene and Bob Young

How fortunate I was to have worked with your dad, a greenie right out of school also. He had a 10+ personality! Loved by all!

Page, Patrick and Todd, I`m traveling in Panama. My heart is broken as your Father was/is one of my dearest friends. His smile says it all. He led a joy-filled life full of personal generosity to all and will be remembered fondly by everyone that crossed his path.
Sending love to you,
