We would like to share about John Ritter's life, he had been preaching some of SDA (Sabbath Day Advent) at the Baltimore Sun newspaper. So I told him that Christ is better than any kind of religions. Sure enough, John Ritter believed and accepted Christ. Praise The Lord! 
Really, he has done alot of goods to many friends and families. A  great opportunity commission for Christ and soul winners of others. He  is gone and now have a new body with the Lord. Blessing to have John Ritter as a great leader. We admired him very well. 
Love in Christ,

In loving memory of my brother John. Although distance separated us in our adult lives  my love for him and many childhood memories remain  forever in my heart. He loved  the lord and his family above all else.As a kid John loved the water and enjoyed swimming, boating and water skiing. He excelled at all! We had many a chicken fight in the river, ( his team always won!). My mom and John did a lot of crabbing. Eating steamed crabs was our favorite!!! He loved camping and riding his snow mobile too. He was a jokester for sure, always laughing  or laughing at others follies. I have  memories of many Friday nights  watching him play basketball at Maryland School for the Deaf. John loved life, laughter and people. May he rest in eternal peace, God Bless. 

Uncle Johnny will be remembered with much love. As a kid, I was not able to communicate with him very well, but uncle John did a terrific job reading lips. 

What I remember the most, uncle Johnny had a terrific smile, a warm heart, and he gave the biggest and tightest hugs you can imagine. He will be missed dearly. 

I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. In deepest sympathy ~My heart is with all of you. 

Love,
Sandy Bennett (Harris) 

Godspeed~

May his soul have peace. My condolences to Connie and his whole family. I knew Connie's deaf parents many years ago. 

I knew him since he was little and he hung around with my four deaf siblings and me during our years at MSD-MD. He spent a little time at our home.

        My first memory of Uncle Johnny was as a kid, when I first met him, aunt Connie and their beautiful family down at the shore on our first family trip to Maryland. It was full of fun, family and memories I cherish.                                                   
        It was that first meeting that filled my heart with a desire to learn sign language. It wasn't until a few years later, I was about 13 by then, when I found out He and his family were coming to California to spend some time with us that desire took off, and opened the door to a lifetime of learning  and coming to love not only Deaf Community, but the beautiful American Sign language. So thanks for that Uncle John! I have been blessed by having that skill in the work that I do for over 20 years now.

       The last time I got to see him was the day of my dad's funeral. Uncle Johnny shared such a beautiful, heartfelt message that day speaking in honor of his brother.  I will never forget the warm,comforting hug he gave me that day after the service, and the words we shared... that I will always cherish. It felt so much like there was a part of my dad holding me that day too. I'm sure going to miss him. 
 My Love and Prayers

I knew Mr. John and his family when they lived in MD. I remember he was always kind and helpful. There was multiple times I was late for school or needed a ride on bad weather days and  he would drop me off. I also remember him being silly and funny. 
My condolences to his family, you are in my thoughts and prayers 

With Love,
Sam
