Edward Arthur Ritz

Oh Ed! What a generous and kind soul you are! I will forever be indebted to you for the role you played in my steel tongue drum, Divine, being summoned into my life! I will always remember, with great fondness the many beautiful Kirtan evenings hosted by you and Susan. Thank you for blessing me with your presence in my life. You will be surely missed on this Earth plane, but I am certain your good works will be continued wherever your soul now flies free. Sending you continued wishes for...

Thank you Ed for being the man you are. Thanks for persuading Richard Ocasio to marry me. Will never forget our wedding at Incord. As a matter of fact today is our Anniversary. Will never forgot the kind hearted person you were! Told Richard he couldnt believe it. May you Rest In Peace and the lord have you in his glory. Blessings

I was so saddened to learn of Ed's passing. He was a close and valued friend for over 45 years more like a brother to me. I will miss him.

My sincere sympathies to Susan and her children, to Edie and all the Ritz children and grandchildren, and to his extended family.

I feel so sad to think the world doesn't have the living presence of the generous, deeply kind and thoughtful and talented Ed Ritz. He was a benefactor to so many people including my non-profit work and he was the kind of generous person who never expected anything back. He gave not for the glory or the power that some philanthropists rely on, but from the pure goodness of his heart. I really loved Ed and admired him so deeply. And I always will. When I was talking to my goddaughter who...

I only met Ed a few times. He was a kind and loving uncle to my son-in-law, Patrick Mills and my daughter, Rachael, My heart aches for the family and friends who loved him and will miss him. You are all in my prayers for the coming days ahead.

I am so sad to hear that we have lost this wonderful being. I am holding Susan and Ed's children so deeply in my heart. I can't even imagine what this time must be like. My prayers are with them along with my great appreciation for the kindness, the humour, the love and wisdom that emanated from this great man. May we all continue to serve the world the way Ed did. His legacy and presence lives on through us.

He was a great man, I had the chance to work with him and be around the family. Was a devastating news. To the family my respects R.I.P Ed

I'm sorry to hear this sad news. I send my condolences to his family.

Our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Edward. We are very sorry for your loss and wish you peace and strength as you mourn your loved one.
