Bill, you were a very positive part of my life when I was being greatly challenged. I am not sure that I ever thanked you for it, I would hope that my actions at the time would have at least made it clear how I felt.

Uncle Bill touched many people's lives…I was one of those lucky people. His smile, laugh and lovable personality will be remembered forever in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you Auntie Elinor.

Knowing Bill Ritchie was a treat, with his infectious grin and big heart! Working for him was a pleasure. What a great boss, what a fantastically positive person. You will be missed Bill, but if you have anything to say about it, you'll be "on the road again" on bigger highways! Hugs to you Elinor, my heart goes out to you.
