Man I hope Eric gets as good as his dad with the guitar. Gary could make sounds on his Les Paul that I never heard before. For example, listen to the two solos on Back On The Road Again. Gary was a wizard, a Les Paul master. His tone, touch and timing are unmatched.

His Dad had a unique sound ,,1 of the great underated guitarist ever!!!!

Gary was the reason I was crazy about REO from the album with Golden Country on it . I was 12 or 13 RIP GR

Gary had that special connection with the crowd. His guitar playing and attitude made sure of it

Gary Ritchwrath was the greatest R& R player ever on a Les Paul.

I miss Gary. He was my first favorite lead guitar player. Boy, he could jam. Cool as hell his son was there.

Those are smiles of love... this proves that while the band broke up they never stopped loving each other.... RIP Gary.

This was at the Virginia theater in Champaign IL. I was there. Great night of music!! Original singer, Gary’s son, Bruce Hall’s daughter opened up with her blues band. It was a crazy 2.5 hr show and an amazing experience!!

Kevin grew up into my grandma.looks just like her!!!!Gary was the only reason we ever went to a reo concert 1985 and back.when Gary left so did we.

Eric Richrath has his dad’s eyes, there is no mistake. And a bonus to have Terry Luttrell joining the band for 157…. Must have been a special moment for Neal who was in the band with Terry.
