Rob1159 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Sorry if this post is in the wrong spot, but I just heard one of my old best friends who I had known for over 50 years just passed away quite suddenly, his name was Ritchie Andrews he was from Llandudno. A friend was able to inform me of his passing last night, but knowing Ritchie had no other family as Ann his wife passed away back in July 2018 it’s hard to find out anything being so far away as I live in Westlake Village California and so I am not able to find out very much. I would be so grateful if anyone who knew Ritchie could get in touch as to what happened, and if there will be any service. I had just been in touch with him to let him know I was returning for a visit this coming June and we had planned on visiting the Llandudno soul event together in June. He said he was just getting over Covid but was looking forward to getting back on his bike in a few days, the email I received from him was just a couple of days ago. So, I am very shocked and sad to hear about his passing like this. Thanks Rob 2 1

Tony Foster Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Totally shocked by this sad news. We were only talking to him a couple of weeks ago in Llandudno. RIP, you will be greatly missed.
Skegsoul Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Very sad news had so many top nights in his company. Sleep well soulman R.I.P
Tony Foster Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Especially for Ritchie, this was part of our conversation and his deal with Colin all those years ago.

Wicked Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Very sad news indeed, I've known Ritchie for years and had quite a few good records off him. I think it was Ritchie and Bob Foster that got me into real ale back in the late 70's.
