Richard M. Ritchie

Richard M. Ritchie, 55, of Forked River, passed away at home peacefully on Monday, June 24. He is survived by the love of his life, Jackie; his children Drew, Evan, Ashley and Chelsea; his parents Richard E. and Susan M. Ritchie; his sisters Suzanne and Stephanie Ritchie; and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.  

Rich was an avid golfer, devoted Kansas City Chiefs fan, and could be found hanging out at Tice’s Shoal on his boat with family and friends all summer long. As the service manager at Lacey Auto Care, he was a trustworthy, honest man, who helped everyone in need.

His friends will miss his great sense of humor, his smile and his love for life. He was the life of the party. And he was always right.  

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia or the charity of your choice in his name.
