Please join us as we celebrate the incredible life and legacy of Joe Ritchie.

The main event will be a memorial service followed by a reception with light hors d’oeuvres and drinks. This event will be held in an open-air tent to accommodate for potential weather. In the event of extreme weather, we will be providing information regarding an alternative location on this page.

Chicago’s spring weather can vary greatly from one hour to the next, so layers are recommended. Please plan on comfortable, outdoor-appropriate shoes. We recommend ladies avoid wearing heels.

Attire is “Joe-Formal”: (A sport coat with your favorite pair of jeans and a tie shoved in your pocket, just in case you feel underdressed.) Joe would want you to be comfortable — so wear what you like.

As you are able, kindly RSVP by Saturday, April 23 so we can best accommodate our guests. For those unable to confirm by April 23, please simply RSVP as you are able. We do not want anyone to miss out based on a deadline.
