Charlene and Family,
No words are adequate to express the sorrow we feel for your loss. Our children knew Joe much better that we did however, I will never forget one year at the Catholic League Swimming Champs at LaSalle, Joe wore quite a colorful outfit on deck, students and spectators thought it was hilarious however, the Officials thought otherwise! Guess they just didn’t have Joe’s sense of humor and quick wit. Someone once told me death leaves a heartache no one can heal but love leaves a memory no one can steal.
My thoughts and prayers for the Ritchie family. May Joseph be your angel in heaven watching over all of you.
Warmest and sincerest regards.
