Arthur G. "Tony" Ridge

I have only just heard that 'Arty' has passed away. I wondered why I had not received a Christmas Card from him, his was always the first to arrive. The Ridge family (and the Margetsons) were great friends with the Clements family in Ferndale Road, South Norwood in South London. He, and his brothers and sisters and stepbrothers and stepsisters were a big part of my childhood and life. I will miss him very much. 'Joytie'

Tony - Unfortunately I only had the pleasure of knowing you for a short time....but you and Jane always made me feel at home, and you made me laugh with your wonderful stories.
You were a very special person Tony.
God Bless you Tony.
Carrie

Tony - For fifteen years you were my friend.
You and Jane's annual visit to Sally in Wales was a high-point of the year for me.
God Bless you Tony.

Art - How we'll miss you! The stories that you and my Dad could tell were endles and always had the whole family in stitches. I will always remember the one about digging the air-raid shelter at the bottom of the garden at Ferndale Road. And my own memory is of driving you from Tunbridge Wells back to RAF Odiham after you'd arrived back from Germany. It was in a freezing winter, icy roads, I'd just learnt to drive and had my first car and there was this RAF hero alongside me who took me into the Officers' Mess at Odiham while you went and tried to start your car under a foot of snow with a dead battery!

Memories.

God Bless, Art.

Love Adrian (Admiral) and Sue

Art, you were full of life and laughter. You and dad were two peas in a pod. Continue the laughter with him in heaven. You will be missed here on earth.

Dear Uncle Art, my first memories of you was seeing you in your RAF uniform when I was about four years old, you looked so dapper and smart. You always gave me such joy when we met and you were always so full of fun and such great stories, you were the greatest "slightly risqué" uncle in the family. The whole family used to talk about your heroic deeds with hushed reverence! God broke the mould when you were born. We will miss you Art, you were a great person to know.

Love Colin and Tricia

Tony, although few, I am so glad to have been able to spend time with you and Jane. You were always so cheerful and playful, a real joy to be around. I will smile each time I think of you and know that you are smiling down on all of us. Dana

I am so proud to call you my grandpa. I love you, miss you and will always remember you.

Jane, I will always treasure the time you and Tony were able to spend with us this past New Year's. He had such a great sense of humor and I loved all of the stories. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Lynda

Goodbye Grandpa. I miss you.

Tony.
Clive and I have known you for many years. Clive from a very young age when he and Sally go up to lots of tricks.
I became best friends with Sally when I was 18 years old and away from home for first time. You and Rhiann welcomed me into your home and treated me as a daughter, I will always remember the kindness you both showed to me, even when Sally and I got into troule you would always be on our side, even when I am sure you knew we were in the wrong you never let any one harm us.
Clive and I have such happy memorys of you. The last time we saw you was at Andrews wedding and you had not changed a bit, still teasing me about my big bum, that was your wonderful charm and humour.
God bless Tony and our love to Jane.

Knowing Tony was truly a pleasure. I feel lucky that he was able to be a part of our family, and share all the wonderful times we did. I will always remember his charming sense of humor and stories.

Jane,
I know you are in amazing hands with your family & friends. I hope I can also offer my love and support to you as you have always graciously done for me. I know this is a difficult time. I am blessed to have met Tony and hearing about how the two of you met, to hear the laughter in his voice and listening to some of his stories. I hold the short time spent as part of your family dear to my heart and my prayers are with you guys.

Remembering you and it was our privilege
to know you. You gave Jane so much joy
and companionship and we will always
think of you as a "cousin". Love to all
the family, Jack and Betty Vaughn

Tony shared so much with us-holidays, vactions, graduations, and every day with our Mom. We will miss spending time with him. He helped me not to be afraid of flying. Sally, thank you for sharing your Daddy with us.

Tony,

It was my honor to know you. Your grace and charm was an inspiration. I will always remember your great stories. You will be missed by me and all that knew you.

We will all miss you.

Tony from the moment you came into Janie's life and ours, you have been a joy to us. The laughter we shared, trips, birthdays and Christmas in San Antonio and other places will live on in memory. We thank God for having you these 17 years though it feels too short. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!! WE WILL MISS YOU!

Tony, you brought such joy and laughter into our lives. I will miss our "My Fair Lady" quips. I am so glad that your are now beyond the pale and past the pain. God bless you and keep you.

Momma Jane, you know I would be there if I could. I love you and am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Love, Brandy and Paul

Jane, my condolences to you and your family. GOD bless you.
