Condolences to his family
It was a real pleasure to work with Bill and Dorathy at Cleveland Tool and Cutter right out of college and I learned so much about the business and trade. I will always be grateful for that opportunity he gave me. The workplace had a real family atmosphere, and we shared some really great moments. Mention the name of Bill Ritchie to me, and it will always bring a smile to my face. Job well done Bill.
Memories of Smiles started in high school hanging in the Ritchie basement. So many funny moments with this man and his beautiful family. Love to you all and we are thinking Bill may have a fast track to Heaven.
Love - David and Terry Kaminski
So many fond memories of a true gentleman.
Our condolences Dorothy and family.

One of our funniest memories are from isles of Capri when a frog jumped from the door of the building right on to his forehead. We still laugh about that. So so many wonderful memories. Bill you will be so missed. I’m sure you’re sitting with my mom and dad, Glen and Joyce Moenich, Annie and Wally Ehrnfelt, Dale and Lee Finley, and Ruby Perau toasting to all the good times. RIP sweet Bill. You were so loved! Pam and Ken Leonard and family
