My condolences to Great Uncle Ray’s family for their loss. I pray the Lord comforts them in their time of mourning. I didn’t know Uncle Ray nor do I know any of the other family members. I’m Elton Ritch’s grandson from his son Tim. I would love for someone in the Ritch family to reach out to me. I have lots of questions and would love to connect with my father’s family.
I was 16 Ray and Ann Pierced my ears they put clothes pins on them Ann Shut the needle through it and it hurt I always enjoy living beside them. I spent a lot of time at their house he will be missed.
I remember Ray Ritch as a Driver’s License Examiner at the Birmingham Post before he promoted to a Trooper. He was a delightful person to work with. I pray for continuous strength and uplifting for the family.
John 11:25-26:
