Joseph P. De Ritter

What a friend, you were always there when I needed someone. Thank You for being you. I will think about you often and always

What a wonderful friend. I could come to you with what ever my problems where and you would help. You will be forever missed and with me always. Thank you for being a friend.

I don't even know where to start. For someone that was in our lives for a limited amount of time, you sure did leave quite the impact. Fourth of July parties at the house on Connor, Vegas, The dog track, teaching me the art of shuffleboard so I could take everyone's money at the bar (including Larry Bird's)! Most of all, the loyalty, love and friendship you showed my brother, myself and everyone else you came into contact with. I will never be able to thank you enough. It's so surreal, I cannot believe you aren't here, but you will live on in my heart and in my memory forever.

I'm so sorry we didn't have more time together to share like when we were kids. I miss you more than you can ever know.

Joe I guess you will be BUBBLY forever now. It is hard to believe that you are gone. A great man will be missed by many of your friends at the Track. We are lucky you touched our lives.

Wow, it's been almost a month since you've been gone. I can't shake the loss, I'm sorry we didn't have one last great trip before you had to leave us. Still thinking of you daily but then again I always will.
