Robert Ritter

Robert “Robin” Ritter passed on Aug 13, he was 88. Falling in love and spending the last 23 years with his beautiful wife Nancy, Bob was a well-known pianist/vocalist performing all over the Cleveland area. Bob was a piano teacher for 50+ years and managed the pianos dept. at Higbee's for 35 years. Bob appeared as an extra in the movie, A Christmas Story. Music and singing was a huge part of his life, yet his faith in God outshines even that. And there is no question now that God has a fantastic new piano player! Bob so loved his family and friends, always speaking a positive word, and he loved the Indians right up to the end. He is preceded in death by his son and musician David, his brothers Warren (Marlene) and Allen (Margie); survived by his sister Ramona Thomas; loving wife, Nancy (Greene); his son Christopher (Beverly) Ritter with 3 children and 5 grandchildren; the late son David's daughter Devon; Nancy's daughter, Debbie with her 2 children, son Robert with 2 children and 1 grandchild, and son Timothy.
