John and his family were lots of fun to live next to. It seemed like every kid in town would show up to swim in their back yard pool. It was a great way to spend a summer afternoon with friends and all have fun together.

A good friend of my father's. They enjoyed each other as neighbors, and together at the U Mass and UNH football games for many years. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ritter family, who I miss in Hardwick.

My father in law, John Ritter, has been an inspiration to me for 37 years. As a Grampa, He is and will always be respected for his sound, honest advice and loved for his warm smile, his enthusiasm and zest for life and his persistent sense of humor. You are in our hearts forever Gramps. We love you!
