I had the pleasure of working with Gene at Tyson. Gene always had a smile or a kind word for everybody, he was a very special man. It's been a year since he left this world and I still miss him

Russ and I had the pleasure of working with Gene at Tyson. I have missed him greatly just not working with him and having our morning visits. His kindness and generosity will always be remembered and appreciated. Our thoughts and Prayers are with his family. May God Bless...

We have a cabin in Round Valley next to Gene's. We became great friends at that time. We did so enjoy our times together and getting to know the family. Our childern and his were about the same age so that made it great fun for them to play together there.
I lost my husband Gary in 2004, and have thought often of the memories we all had up there.
May our Loving Heavenly Father comfort and watch over you all at this time. Peggy Birkinbine and family. Brad, Bryan and Brooke...

I got to know Gene while working with him at the Tyson facility. He was an all around great guy, with a huge heart that helped people in so many ways when they needed it most. My family's thoughts and prayers go out to the Ritchie family during this trying time. Gene has left an honest positive mark on this earth and it was a pleasure to have known him.

Jim and I worked with Gene at Tyson, as security officers. We will miss him very much. God be with his family at this time.

Gene will be missed by many. He helped out others when ever he was able to do so. We all loved him in our own ways. I had the pleasure of working with him and going out for dinner he was a great friend.

I worked with Gene at Tyson Foods and he became a good friend of mine. I will miss him and God Bless him.
