John C. "Jack" Righter of Ridley Park passed away unexpectedly December 17, 2022.

Born in Philadelphia on December 30, 1953, Jack moved to Ridley Park as a young child. He was the son of the late Charles and Margaret (née Pitts) Righter. He was preceded in death by brother, Charles J. Righter and daughter, Jaclyn Righter.

Jack is survived by his devoted wife of 45 years, Ronna M.

He enjoyed bowling in his younger years, loved golfing once a week, riding his bike, beach trips, and going to the casino.
