Heaven gained a new angel this Remembrance Day 2021.

Our Fundraising hero, Kenneth McRitchie aged 75 died of heart problems in hospital on what is known to most as Poppy Day, to us now we will remember It as our angel day.

Over the years Kenneth has raised thousands of pounds for the charities such as Help for Hero’s, The Forgotten Hero’s and The Royal British legion.

He was a staunch Labour supporter through and through and was involved with lots of committee’s in the Pontefract Community. Now he is no longer here, his voice and votes will sadly be missed.

Over the last 2 1/2 years Kenneth has not being able to enjoy his life, as he has been too unwell to leave the house. He will sadly be missed by not only his loving wife Cristine and children Zara, Becci and Jacob McRitchie and friends in Pontefract but also from a vast majority in South Shields where he was born and raised.

God Bless you Kenny McRitchie back in the arms of his loving mother Rita Ishiah McRitchie.

Due to the costs implicated within the funeral, and not knowing this would be so sudden, we don’t have the funds together to be able to pay for the send-off he truly deserves, any contributions will be greatly appreciated, and lets all raise a toast to such a wonderful inspiration to our lives.

Thank you for your time in reading.
