William Ritchot Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 18, 2018.
The Ritchot family said good bye to Pops, on Tuesday, October 16, who passed away quietly at his home of 54 years.

Pops is survived by his sister Emily; two sons, Tom (Peggy) and Tim (Linda), and many nephews and nieces who he was very proud of and always happy to see.

Pops was predeceased by his wife Yvette who he missed very much. He was also predeceased by his parents, Bill and Edith, brother Fred, and his little brother and best friend Ed. Pops will be remembered by his family and friends for always being there to lend a hand.

We like to think that Pops is dancing with Yvette and having a beer with his little brother Ed, and smiling down on the family he was very proud of. He stopped loving her today.
