Joseph John Ritter IV

Just found out today of Joe's passing. We can hardly believe it and are in shock. He was one of the nicest men we have ever met. He did a complete kitchen renovation on our home, a complete kitchen renovation on our sons home and a lot of work on my daughters home, that's how much we loved him. His carpentry skills were amazing. He was such a honest person and a true gentlemen. He will be so greatly missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

We just learned today about Joe's passing, and it makes us very sad. He was such a genuine, thoughtful, hard-working, patient, skilled and intelligent man with a great sense of humor. We are very proud to have his workmanship displayed in our finished lower level that he treated as if it were his own home. We send our deepest condolences to Dorothy and the rest of the family for the loss of such a very fine and loving man. Joe was very proud of his family.

I have been friends with Dorothy for about 5 years. I didn't know Joe very long but i really enjoyed our rides to St. Ignatius. Such a compassionate, caring and fun loving man. I knew he had been ill but I really thought he would pull through. He will be truly missed. My heart goes out to his family.

Dear Dorothy and family - May you find comfort in the arms of your Lord, may He give you peace. I will always treasure your family stories and your cottage in the woods. You are the beautiful people of life- sincerest condolences.

Joe was always a perfect gentleman and a kind and gentle soul. I will miss worshipping and talking with him at our St. Ignatius Community. May he now enjoy the peace and love that only God can fill - abundant and overflowing.

I have so many memories of Joe when we were in school together...I was one of the original "GROUPIES" for the band! I considered him a great friend when were in school......My condolences to Dorothy......and his family. The world was a better place with Joe in it. I can just imagine how he is "SHINING" on the other side....... Sadness.......in my heart.......

May God take Joe & hold him in his arms until we all meet again in Paradise
