We are so sorry for your loss. Rit was always a great guy to talk with, dedicated dad to all four of his children, picking them up after a long day of work from my daycare, then heading home to be a dad . I remember him also being a devoted husband to his wife as well. Loved going to the car races together, traveling and just enjoying each other´s company. It´s so hard to deal with a loss, especially when there was so much more life to be lived. Take Care of each other, stay close, and someday all your memories will make you smile again.
