Steven R. Ritz

I remember and long for my good friend Steve. we shared many times at work and remembering family and our time in the US Air Force. he was always smiling and giving advice to many young Engineers at work, he was well respected and thought out as a compassionate individual. When the heavens called his name we all cried to his memories and absence he left on all of us. me and my friends still remember him and someday we will see him again....in time. keep rest in peace in the glory of the God.

A dear friend and buddy from his enlisted time in the Air Force at Lowry AFB. We were best friends then and tested together for the Academy. After reading his obituary I relish day of seeing him again one day in heaven. Love you Steve. Save me a spot! Tom

Dear Steven family. It has been 19 years now that my good friend Steven was called by the heavens. And thru all the years I still remember him how such a great especial person he was. I still think of him as a great friend I had. He still lives in our memories. I hope your family throughout this time is well, healthy and blessings to you all

Dear Susie and Children

I am deeply saddened for the loss of such a wonderful person Steven was. I know that he was a wonderful husband and father to all of you. Steven and I worked closely together - overseas as well as stateside - and although we had adverse times during working periods we always found the way to come ahead thanks to his great nature and patience that Steven had, there was never a dull moment around him. I am so sad and I am going to miss my friend very much...

I was saddened to hear about Steve's passing. Steve helped me through some rough times, and I am forever thankful to have known him. My temporary duty overseas would have been impossible if it were not for Steve, and a few others like him, being there to make us all laugh, and always making the best of things. Knowing the kind of person he was, he had a spot reserved for him in heaven from the day he was born.

Peace and Love,
Chris

Today, I was shocked and saddened to learn of Steve's passage to the next stage of life...one of eternal peace. While I occasionally worked with Steve at LMC, I really came to know him as we both served as loaned Executives to the United Way. Steve's warmth and sincerity made him and instant friend of many. He touched so many people with the "Red Shoes" story. He was so proud of his family.
I will miss him as will untold many others. God's Speed, Steve. Well done. Watch over the rest...

We will have to hold the get togeter off until later. I grew up with Steve since we were about 8.

He had a good heart and was ALWAYS there for the little person. He will still be with us all.

Suzie, I never did get to meet you and I pray you and the children are blessed with only positive thoughts and emotions, most of the time.

If I can be of any assistance in any way, please do not hessitate to call.

I am going to miss Mr. Ritz so much. he holds a special place in my heart. I especially remember the trip to inlet. playing endless games of chicken foot. He was a great person inside and out... you will all be in my prayers.

I worked with Steve overseas. He enriched us all with qualities of character that were, uniquely, his own. His positive attitude and sense of humor touched us all. He was a great friend. I extend my most profound sympathy to his family.
