David Graham Ritchie

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Graham Ritchie on Friday, February 27, 2015. In his 88th year, he leaves behind Nancy (Eastwood), his beloved wife of 63 years. Graham was the loving father to Neill (Christine), Tom, Douglas (Susan), and Peter. Graham had the opportunity to share his life and love with his grandchildren Kala, Ivy, Joey, Jennyfer, David, Sarah, Allison and Michael and great-grandchildren Jacob, Austin, Lexia, Kingston, and Jonathon. He was predeceased by his siblings Shirley, Claire and George. He will be remembered as a prominent member of the Ottawa business community as one of the owners of Ritchie Feed and Seed. Graham dedicated many years of service to the Gloucester Lions Club. He will be sorely missed by the residence of Riverpark Place on euchre nights and bingo. Thanks to the staff at Riverpark Place for the care they provided. Family and friends are invited to pay their respects at the Garden Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 3440 Richmond Road (between Baseline Rd. and Bayshore Dr.) on Tuesday, March 3, 2015 from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Funeral Service will be held in the chapel on Wednesday, March 4 at 11 a.m. followed by a reception. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations forwarded to the Gloucester Lions Club or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
