The membership of the 4th North Carolina Infantry, Inc. express their deep sense of loss with the passing of Jeff. Although his illness kept him from a lengthy stay in our organization, his contribution was outstanding. He was the regimental clerk for the 125th Gettysburg and served with distinction. His kindness went a long way and he will be terribly missed. Thank God people like him livie among us.

Jeff listened completely. He was the most caring and sincere health practitioner that both my husband and I were blessed to have in our life. My husband suffered for months, until we finally went to Jeff, he LISTENED to what we said ... because of Jeff, my husband finally was given a diagnosis that validated his symptoms for over 6 months. Two doctors wrote him off as being "depressed" ... I said to Jeff, he is not depressed, there is something wrong ... Jeff listened, and we began our road to recovery. My husband cherishes the memory of being Jeff's last patient at CPC. Thank you Jeff, you have been one of the few healthcare professionals I have ever trusted. We were blessed to have you in our life. Thank you again Jeff. You will live forever in our hearts. Our condolences to your wife, your kids and your family. This world is a better place, thanks to Jeff.

My husband and I both met Jeff at CPC several years ago and always asked to see him. We then followed him to spring grove. Jeff cared about people, spending the extra time to show it by making the visit feel like you were going to see a friend. We'll never find another care giver to fill his shoes. He will be missed by many!

Anita,
I had no idea that Jeff Ritter was your husband. I have worked with you at Belk and enjoyed your company the few times that we worked together. My husband and I loved when Jeff Ritter was at CPC and used him as our first go-to whenever we needed medical care. He was the most sincere and caring doctor that we have ever known, and were so sad when he moved away several years ago. I feel so badly that I did not know he was your husband and that he was so ill. I pray that God will comfort you and your daughters and give you the strength that you need each day. Know that he was loved by many and that you will be in our prayers.
Sincerely,
Allison Campbell

To the family of Jeff Ritter: Jeff was truly an angel here on earth. He was the kindess, sweetest man I have ever known in the Medical field. He loved helping people. He saved my husband's life with his quick assessment of his illness. He dianosed that my husband had cancer and sent him right away to a specialist. The list goes on and on about his love for people. My family loved Jeff. We missed him so much when he left CPC. He was the best. May God comfort you in your time of grief. RIP Jeff. We love you!

Jeff saved my husband's life in 2001. He saw something the cardiologist did not and sent my husband to the hospital 911 from CPC and he was flown to Sinai. He had a deadly aortic dissection but was saved because of Jeff's action. Compassionate, patient, kind, intelligent. He was the best CPC had to offer. My extended family was very sad to hear of his untimely loss. His family should be immensely proud of him. My sympathies to them.

Jeff was the kind of person I could only hope to be. My heart cries at the loss of an exceptional doctor and most important.....a friend. He was there whenever someone was in need yet he never complained about his own discomforts. My life was saved a year ago by this amazing person. I will be forever grateful. Jeff's tender heart and caring hands touched so many lives. May you rest in peace my friend.

We are so sad to hear of Dr. Jeff's passing. He was so caring and compassionate with my entire family, especially our youngest who suffers from Muscular Dystrophy. He always had time to listen and no question was ever "dumb" to him. Jeff was so proud of his family, especially the girls...he loved you all dearly. We certainly are going to miss him. May God give you comfort and strength and hold you tightly through this difficult time. Rest Easy Dr. Jeff and thank you for all you gave to your patients ?

I am so very saddened to hear of Jeff's passing. He was an exceptional human being- compassionate, kind, nurturing,respectful, and patient. I had the great fortune and honor to work along side Jeff in our medical practice. He was a diligent, inciteful, and comprehensive practitioner from whom I learned much and whose 'style' I continue to ty and emulate. Those fortunate to have known him will feel his loss. I send my deepest condolences to his family.

I am so shocked and saddened over the passing of Mr. Ritter. I was a patient at CPC and would only see Mr.Ritter. He always took the time to address all concerns, there was never a time you felt he was rushing you out the door. I deeply appreciated his willingness to be open to my input regarding my care. I also enjoyed our conversations regarding antiques. A good man... kelli corey

One of my Grandma's favorite doctors. He had such a gentle way with her and a few years ago when she got really sick and didn't want to go to the hospital it was his gentle but persuasive talk with her that made her go get checked out. He was a gem in medicine, you don't see that kind of bedside manner much anymore.
