James E. Ritchie

What else is there to say? He was a unique and wonderful guy - as has been expressed by many others. You know my feelings about Jim - high regard. He offered much to many.
Know that we miss him too although not to the same depth that you do.
Know also, that your many friends are just waiting for an opportunity to be there when you need them.
My love always........

Midge and Family: I loved Jim. He made me laugh, and he was nice.He was a big kid, and I could act like a kid around him, especially when we used to hit each other at church. I wish I had the opportunity to have known him longer. I'm happy he isn't sick anymore, and most of all, I'm happy he accepted God's son and is with God now. I miss him so much.

Midge....I know how deeply you're hurting. Jim was a special guy and, although I hadn't known him long, I really came to appreciate his tenderness and concern for others. May God's love and strength hold you when you need it. I continue to pray for you.

Midge, you know how we feel about you and Jim. He's in good hands and I know you miss him dearly. We know your shining spirit will pull you through and always know you're never alone. Love, Jo and Jim

He loved fishing,...

Midge and family,I did not know Jim, but when you and I met at Willow's Senior Center we became friends. Remember we always tried to sit together when we had our computer classes. I know exactly what you are going through, because I lost my Don on May 12th 2007. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. We are very sad that God took them home, but I feel that the Lord knows when it is time. My consolation is that there is no more pain, needles. and Doctors. They both are in the...
