Robert Ritchie Champion

Mr. Champion always remain in my mind throughout the years. After two years of Computer Science, I became his student aide and self study under his guidance until he moved on to his third career. Even though there were educators after him, I consider him as my true teacher of Computer Science. I´m now a successful software engineer all thanks to Mr. Champion. I still remember the first day sitting in his class with him writing on the overhead. I learned a lot from his teaching. He´s still the...

Mr Champion was truly the best teacher I ever had. He taught me at Naaman Forest High school and inspired me to pursue an education in Computer Science. Sadly, I just discovered this notice as I was looking him up to see how he was doing. I was thrilled when I was attending UTD to meet up with him again as a colleague. The world has lost a great one. My prayers with you.

Kathy, my deepest condolences to you, Emily, Derek, and Anna. Ritchie was such a friendly person and always made people feel welcomed. I have such vivid memories of him greeting me at church...always with a smile, always asking how I was, and always sharing good news about his beloved family. He had that rare trait of making people feel truly listened to and he did it so effortlessly and with such grace. We are lessened by his loss. I wish you comfort during this season of grief. Love to all...

Ritchie will be remembered for as long as I am alive. He was a great running friend and pushed me to always do my best every time we ran together. Ritchie was a gentleman with a kind heart, and he was also a phenomenal athlete. I will miss Ritchie. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Kathy, I am so sorry. I can't imagine what you're feeling. I'm sending you and your family love and prayers for comfort.

Richie was an amazing man and good husband and father to Kathy and their kids. My deepest condolences for your loss.
