John's Mom Passes Away at Age 88 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Pavan · 11-11-2003, 08:49 PM

Entertainment Tonight is reporting that John's mom, Dorothy Fay Ritter, has passed away at age 88 on Sunday after a long illness. This is just so sad. A few years back a London newspaper (I think) reported that she passed away, but it was false and they later printed that they were wrong.

Oh, that is very sad! RIP Dorothy!

Another sad day for the Ritter family. R.I.P. Dorothy. You're with John now.

Sorry, I made another thread for this. We posted right about the same time.

This just totally sucks. R.I.P. Dorothy. Thanks for doing a great job on raising John. Look at how well he turned out and how many people love him. All this is partly because of you. So, thank you. At least, you guys are together now.

I was thinking the exact same thing. It's not uncommon for things like that to happen. Often, if one person in an older couple dies, the other dies shortly thereafter.

God Bless Dorothy..I know she is in heaven with John, sharing hugs and laughter...

She was 88 for Christ's sake. RIP and all that but damn.......it may not be ALL that sad. People die, get over it.

I was thinking that too. First his brother now his mother, and his Dad's been gone.
Also his kids. First their Father, now there grandmother.
And both within a couple of months.
