Karen I am so sorry to here of Johns passing. I am so sorry for you families loss, just know he is always watching over you and the kids. I will keep you all in my prayers. Your neighbors Holly,John Ritter.

My thoughts go out to your whole family. I knew John in grade school & junior high, once we got into high school it seems everyone went their own way. It is so nice to know John experieced love through his family & friends throughout his adult life. May John remain alive in your hearts forever.

Karen,
May God Bless you and keep you in his care during this difficult time.

John was a mentor to me. In high school, I was apprenticed under John. Even though I wasn't the best student, he took his time with me and tried to explain things so that I could understand them. We had many great conversations about politics and he was one of the main inspirations that sent me to DeVry to study electronics (the school was known by a different name when he attended). I will miss you John. Know that you helped to shape my life and become the man I am today.

Mrs. Ropp, Chantel, Jason and Krystal, we are so sorry to hear about your dad, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Karen and family, Kim and I are so sorry for your loss. John was a mountain of a man, by this we mean his heart as he would help anyone in need and always seemed to genuinely care for others, even when his own health was bad. John was a great man and he will forever watch over you all.
