To the Ritchie family, I send my deepest sympathy. It is remarkable how friends from our school days continue to occupy special places in our hearts, though decades pass and paths diverge. Mike was a big part of my teenage years. Thinking of you at this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I always thought of him as a brother and a valued addition to our company, D. Masonry. I will miss his infectious behavior and fun loving attitude. The Ritchie Family has my deepest sympathy and prayers.

"His last breath on earth was his first in heaven" A quote from Billy Graham. Although I have not seen Mike in many years, he was a good friend at AHHS. Bright, talented, had the world by the tail. He served our country when it wasn't popular and we salute you for your sacrifice even then. You will be missed and not forgotten, rest in peace. My deepest sympathies to family and my you be at peace.

My deepest sympathies go out to Richie's family.
It's such a shock to have to add his name to the list of friends gone too soon.
I've known Richie since the late 70s and am so glad to have called him my friend. Larger than life, heart of gold, and smiling most of the time. We will miss you Mike Ricbie. Rest in Peace my friend...

Had not seen Mike for years but what a contagious laugh and happy go lucky ways. He was fun to be around and was a great basketball player. Prayers to family and may he rest in peace.

I had the pleasure of knowing Mike in high school and for a some years afterward. I fondly remember his good humor, kindness, friendship, and humanity. He has been in my good thoughts from time to time over the years.
