On behalf of World Church leadership, I want to express our sadness over the passing of Brother Ritchie. His insights, wisdom, and ministry will be greatly missed by the church. We also extend our sincerest condolences to all his family.

Malcolm and I visited several congregations of the Community of Christ in the Ohio District to encourage and pray with Pastors. Malcolm was an exceptional Minister. .

I have fond memories of Bobbie and Malcolm and our families at Graceland University Summer board meetings. Much love and sympathy to all of you.

My sister and I remember your father fondly. He and your mother befriended our family when we first moved to Dayton. I am sure he and our mom and dad are playing bridge now in heaven.
Sincerely, Pamela White (Zimmerman) and Paula White Mulhern
