-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ritter & Family, I extend my deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband and my father. Gene and Cindy Trexler
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ritter – Treasure the memories made and hold them close to your heart. He was a very caring individual who loved his family. I consider myself blessed to have been his niece. The kindnesses he rendered to his sister Elsie through the years were just one of the many admirable qualities he possessed. I always admired him and will treasure the times my family and friends had with him in years gone by. He has now joined those who have previously passed on. My sincere condolences to the family he left behind. He may be gone from this earth, but he will not be forgotten. Betty Smith Mertztown PA

Prayers & Loving thoughts. God Bless Rich & Shirley
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ritter & Family- Uncle Ed was a very caring and generous person with a great sense of humor. Edwin was so kind to his sisters, Florence, Mary, Mabel, and my mother, Elsie. He took them on trips to the NJ casinos and down to Florida to visit Mabel when she resided there. These special times with his sisters will be treasured and remembered. Over the years, he joked with mother and I calling us in PA Dutch the "Big and Little Swamp Rats". He will always be remembered in my heart and soul as "One of the Best Uncles" a niece could have in their life. Deepest Sympathy and God Bless You and the Family.
