History
John Stephen Ritcey (1916-1990), purchasing agent, was born in St. John's, Newfoundland on 19 December 1916, son of Robert and Muriel (Harvey) Ritcey. He married Enid Sheppard, and they had two daughters, Rosalind (b. 1946) and Joan (b. 1954). Ritcey died in St. John's on 12 April 1990.
Ritcey was educated at Methodist College, St. John's. After completing his education, he worked at Acadia Gas Engines Ltd., where his father was the branch manager. In 1939 John joined the Royal Navy, serving until 1945 on corvettes. When the war ended he returned to work at Acadia Gas Engines. Following the retirement of his father in 1955, Ritcey succeeded him as branch manager. In 1968, Acadia Gas Engines closed its operation in St. John's. Ritcey was then employed as a purchasing agent at Newfoundland Farm Products, a position he held until his retirement in 1982.
