I am sorry for ya'll Loss of such a wonderful person.
My interactions started with Ridley back in the sixties when he worked with my Brother at the Ammonia Plant at DOW. Over the years Ridley always addressed me as "Little Tommy" even though the name did not match as the years passed. I later worked at DOW at continued to be know as "Little Tommy" to one of the most caring and finest people to make his presance known on this earth. Although Ridley shared a special place in this world He has an even bettor place in Heaven with Our God and Father. I also had the pleasure to work with his daughter Vanessa at DOW. I did not know Ridley and I share the same Birthday I will always remember Him on this day until our paths cross again in Heaven.

Friends on Earth and Heaven for Eternity

Ms Anne, Missy and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all today and for the days to come. Mr. Ridley was such a bright and friendly soul. My favorite memory of him is hearing him walk in my mom's kitchen with his empty coffee cup in hand at 7am on Saturday morning singing in french while he fixed himself a cup of coffee. Take care of yourselves and find peace in knowing that he's in good hands now. God Bless you!

I had the privilege of getting to know and work with Ridley at Dow. I always knew him to be full of cheer and had a "joie de vivre".
I know that he will be greatly missed by all of his family and friends.

Anne,

As a classmate and friend since 1954, I was deeply saddened by Ridley's death. I am sorry to say that I will not be able to attend any service because I start my annual Manresa retreat tonight at 6:00. I know how much Ridley loved Manresa and rest assured our entire group will be praying for him this weekend. I suspect he will be pleased to have the many prayers sent his way. May you and your family be blessed at this moment of sadness but rest in the thought that Ridley is safe in the arms of the Father who he loved so much.
