Ritchie was an inspiration to everyone around him. He had tremendous energy and was vibrantly alive. Often he could be heard singing before you saw him. Ritchie had a wonderful voice and had a passion for John Lennon and Chris Cornell.  He liked to ask strangers their birth year so he could know their Chinese zodiac signs, and he loved clowning around in front of children.  Courtesy of his great friend Harout, he greatly enjoyed going to the opera, especially when Harout was on stage. He also appreciated art and hiking in nature. He was highly regarded by all he touched, and he will be deeply missed.
