Guest Poster (see story below on Ritch):

i new ritch also i haven't seen him in quite some time,we go back to when i had lived on ferndale dr. back in the mid 1980,s we had shared alot in common and got to be pretty good friends,we had swapped trucks for motocross bikes amongst some of the things we did we had some great parties over the years and he had even stayed with my wife and i for a short time back in 1996 when we lived in green bay,sadly missed by all of us i now live in the pulaski area for the last 4 years but when my wifes mother had passed we had bumped into ritch back in 2002 and he gave her a hug and said he'd stop sometime but with all of our schedules it never seemed to happen,i vividly remember a party we had at my parents house that ritch had put together and another in which i had driven down the wrong side of highway 29 in my bronco and went through the ditch to get to the othe side of the road,i laugh sometimes to myself thinking of some of these times,we also worked on alot of cars and trucks over the year the firebird that sat at his moms the charger,1977 bronco which had air conditioning that i was in awe about and the 1974 chevy that i traded him with the steering problems i learned alot just from tearing stuff apart with him i guess i could go on but all i have to say in an essence is that ritch will not ever be forgotton or replaced nicest,kindest person to have been in my life rick p.

The tributes to Ritch Kumhala reported here have been shared with a love that is palpable and heartwarming. I first met Ritch as a friend of my sons'in scouts. A fun loving tow headed kid with a huge mischievious smile. Rich could be a dare devil but with a heart of gold for everyone. I know that his friends meant a great deal to him, as well as his family. While we all feel the loss of him-he will always be carried in the hearts of those of us who loved him-just for the person that he was. How can you even think of Ritch and not smile? He would like that. Ritch accomplished in his life something we all strive to be-a good person, with a good soul. Ritch managed to imbed himself in all of us-I hope he knew that--I like to think he did--Donna B
