EDWARD “ED” PAUL RITCHOT
Peacefully, after a courageous battle
with cancer, Edward Paul Ritchot passed away at the Victoria Hospital with his
family by his side on Saturday, March 22, 2014 at the age of 74 years.
Ed is survived by his wife, Carol;
sons Len (Britta), Ed, Todd (Kim); daughter Ellen (Greg). He will be
greatly missed by his grandchildren, Courtney, Taylor, Tyson, Brandon, Riann,
Kristen, Jenna, Bailie and Brett; brother Bill (Honey); sister (Emily); and
nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents William and Edith;
and brother Fred.
On May 18, 1939 Ed was born in
Winnipeg where he lived his entire life. He loved working on vehicles,
especially his 1954 Chevy. Friends and neighbors would often drop by for Dad to
check their vehicles out and get him to do the odd repair. Ed also loved
driving trucks. He put on lots of miles throughout Canada and the United
States. His pride and joy came later in life when he was working with his
family at Sturgeon Construction. Dad loved going to the shop early in the
mornings and opening up and getting everything ready. He was a very proud
man and took pride in everything he did. Ed will be greatly missed by
family and friends.
At Ed’s request, no Funeral Service
will be held. A private family Interment will take place.
The family would like to thank the
doctors and nurses at the Victoria Hospital for all their
assistance.
If family or friends desire, donations
may be made in lieu of flowers to Winnipeg Pet Rescue Shelter, 3062 Portage
Ave., Winnipeg, Manitoba R3K 0Y1.
