James P. Ritz

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dear Carolyn & Family,

Betty Blodgett Lake ('52 WGHS) just told me about Jim's passing. Even tho I didn't know him, he had to be special since you chose him. My sympathies to all.

I'm sending this to other '56 classmates and hope to see you soon or at least at our reunion in August.

Carolyn and family, we are sorry to hear of Jim's passing. We worked for Jim at light truck and he was a good man who spoke of his family often. We was a great leader and also made his team a family. He will be missed - but know that every Jim Ritz story ends with a roar of laughter. - Deidre Mapes, Terry Sansoucci, Joe Pietrylka & Janet Holzinger

Dear Carolyn and Family, So saddened to hear of Jim's passing. Having lost my husband I know the loss you all must feel. I was a friend of Jim's and knew him well. What a great man and his family as well. That was a good time in our lives right out of high school and in college. May his memory be eternal, Elaine Collins Apostle

Carolyn Not sure if we had met but new Jim for several years. Really sorry to hear of his passing.

?"Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal, love leaves a memory
that no one can steal." Condolences to the family. I can't hear a Roy Orbison song without thinking of Jim. Love and hugs to all. Linda and family
