Richard Ridder

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May Dick rest in peace. He was always one of our "special" cousins. We will all miss him.

Dick was always my "go to guy" at Ridder family reunions or events. He was always smiling and so friendly to everyone. I remember his live, on-camera interviews over the years as a Wichita Fire Department spokesman on the scene of major fires in the area. He was very professional and articulate in the interviews. Dick painted our house in his off duty hours back in the 1970´s. I distinctly recall his cheerful attitude and constant whistling throughout the day as he worked. Dick loved sports...

As a Wichita Firefighter, both myself and my father Dolan Martin worked with Dick. My dad always asks about Ridder. Rest in peace.

Condolences and our prayers to the Ridder family. Attended high school together and played on basketball and football teams . May he rest in peace

Your Dad and Mom were great people and what a wonderful family. I know you have lots of wonderful memories to help you through this sad time. Sending love and prayers to you all. Chris and Judy Hotze and family.

I am so sorry about your Dad! I was so glad to meet him and enjoy his company at the lunch table. My sincere sympathy to your entire family. Lynda Huelsman

A dedicated firefighter. Sorry to hear of his passing.
