He helped during Lent working in the soup kitchen for Church of the Resurrection.

      Philip worked eighteen years for Jim Kryshak Jeweler’s and fifteen years for Hoffer Glass Company, retiring in 1994. After retirement he enjoyed being a handyman for his children and anyone needing help. If he needed a little relaxation or looking for another project he could always find that up north on Lake Nokomis with his children.

      He was a veteran of the Korean War, serving two years in Germany patrolling the German/Russian border. He was also a member of the American Legion, Alois Dreikosen Post 469, Marathon; Catholic Order of the Foresters, St. Leo Court No. 795, Marathon; Catholic Knights of Columbus George Schreier Council No 1069; Wausau Elks Lodge.

Seven grandchildren: Bethany(Ryan) Girtler, Colin and Bennett Heinz, Clara and Amelia Ritger, Davis and Trevor Kim. Three great grandchildren: Shiloh Burgess, Sophia and Mason Girtler.

      He was preceded in death by his loving wife Leona, his parents Philip and Amelia Ritger, three brothers, Alvin, Adolph and Gerald and 7 sisters, Marie Knauf, Evelyn Straub, Loretta Blume, Sister Marcelline Ritger, Dolores Schueller, Arleen Masanz and Sister Rose Ann Ritger.

      The funeral mass will be celebrated on December 15 at the Church of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ in Wausau. Father William Grevatch and Rev. Msgr Mark Pierce will preside.

      Visitation will begin at 9:30 with mass to follow starting at 10:30. Philip will receive full military honors immediately following mass. Burial will follow lunch at the Restlawn Memorial Mausoleum, Wausau.

      In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the family for a donation to Aspirus Comfort Care and Hospice Services.

      The family would like to thank the staff at Pride TLC and Aspirus Hospice for the wonderful care they gave Philip.

      We give our prayers and sympathy to Philip’s family and friends.
