Robert Harry Ritchie

September 19, 1948 ~ June 18, 2024

Born in Montreal, Canada, Harry was predeceased by his parents, Harry and Mavis Ritchie. He is survived by his sister, Karen Stanley, Nephew Matthew Stanley, his wife Aubrey and their children, Liliana and Gabriel, all of Weaverville, North Carolina. Also cousins, Andrea Argue, Lawrence Ritchie and Diana Morgan.

Larger than life and one of a kind would be a unanimous agreement of the "character" our beloved Harry was. Always humorous from start to his courageous finish line, he has left us with a storybook of fun and loving memories. He stayed active and engaged with his friends despite his health struggles which speaks volumes to his brave and ongoing zest for life.

He was a man who always did what he'd say he'd do. Harry was compassionate and caring even in the face of his own challenges. Harry's health greatly deteriorated in the last phrase of his time. Knowing he is no longer suffering is helping those of us grieving accept his passing.

To say he will be missed is an understatement that so many of us who love him will always share. Time may fade away but our love and our memories belong to each of us. Let's remember a happy Harry that was funny and witty and let that bring a smile to our faces as we remember our unique very special Harry.

Harry's Celebration of Life to be announced at a later date.
