There are not enough words to express my gratitude towards Joanie and Bob. They have and are doing so much for the website and other things with Ritchie and Bobs' site to come.
With so many things that have gone on in their lives, you can bet that Ritchie is looking out for them.
Joanie and Bob are wonderful people and give the best that they can for fans. So please send your letters to them as all are loved and answered.

You will never know just how much all your loving words, thoughts and prayers have meant to me and Bob.
First, let me say that I am feeling wonderful and almost back to my ol' self!? My doctors have felt that
my speedy recovery was nothing less than a "miracle", but I'm sure the LOVE I've felt from all of you is my
"miracle". Bob would copy and bring me the postings
in the hospital to boost my spirits and let me say
that reading them was the best medicine!
STEVE...what would we do without YOU?!? (not a darn thing!) Thank-you for keeping Ritchies' place well
taken care of and everyone informed...you are our
rock! Three cheers for Steve...hip hip hooray...hip hip hooray...hip hip hooray!!!
Bob & I want to wish everyone who visits this site
and all the people that they love, a wonderful time
this holiday season and Peace in the coming year.
Thanx again and we love you all!
Joanie & Bob

I always cry when I see the movie La Bomba, right when Bob yells RITCHIE on the bridge it brakes my heart every time. I have always been worried about BOB, always wondered does he have a good life, but after seeing your web site it seems so with a loving wife Joanie, God bless you I pray your surgery was a sucess, may this note find hope you both are in good health. What did Bob do for living did he continue to draw from the movie he was awesome.
