"Anyone see Richie?!" we would shout cause we'd be at a party and Richie would constantly disappear, out socializing. There were countless sleepovers on Aunt Julie's basement floor, concerts, parties and bars that we'd all go to together. He was a man of many identities as he would take on the persona of ski patrol at Blue Mtn with his Walkie Talkie or a bouncer at a bar brawl or a doctor at the hospital when his sisters were having babies. The memories are countless. He was always a free spirit and full of energy and charisma. We will miss you so much but know that you will never be forgotten. XO

Ritchie was always adventurous and ready to share time with his family, he was always happy to see any of us and hugged tight like his grandpa Dawson. Love and miss you so much. Love Aunt Melissa, Uncle Jeff and family. xoxo
