On August 28th, 2020, Bob Ritter of Great Bend passed away at the age of 64. Born to Roy and Kay (Wharton) Ritter of Urbana, NY on September 19th 1955.
Raised on the family dairy farm, Bob was quick to learn the valve of hard work which would remain with him for the rest of his life. After serving a short term in the U.S. Army (1975-1978).Bob found himself starting a new life in central Kansas where he would unknowingly remain. There Bob proudly served as a member and commander of the Stafford American Legion for a time.
Bob loved to work. There were always projects on his never ending to do list. He knew there was a way for him to repair something in order to keep from having to buy a new one. Working outside or inside, on houses or cars, Bob had to be doing something.
Bob’s love for family was even stronger. Bob is survived by his loving wife of fourteen years, Nancy; his five children; three step-children; thirteen grandchildren and one great grandson. Bob also leaves behind his two sisters and four brothers as well as many other friends and family.
