Dearest Robin & family,
Please accept our deepest sympathies for your loss. It is with much gratitude that I got to work with "Ritchie" @ Atlantic Concrete Products for a lot of years. I will always have a fond memory of his visits to the front office! "Whatcha doing??" was his favorite saying. He will be missed.
Rest in peace Ritchie with our Heavenly Father.
